Edward T. Welch Quote

Shame lives in the community, though the community can feel like a courtroom. It says, You don’t belong—you are unacceptable, unclean, and disgraced because You are wrong, you have sinned (guilt), or Wrong has been done to you or You are associated with those who are disgraced or outcast. The shamed person feels worthless, expects rejection, and needs cleansing, fellowship, love, and acceptance.
