Nadia Bolz-Weber Quote

Repentance in Greek means something much closer to thinking differently afterward than it does changing your cheating ways. Of course repentance can look like a prostitute becoming a librarian, but it can also look like a prostitute simply saying, OK, I'm a sex worker and I don't know how to change that, but I can come here and receive bread and wine and I can hold onto the love of God without being deemed worthy of it by anyone but God.
