I had a conversation with a brother who ran a ministry camp but had been shunned by his denomination as a result of a sin he committed 18 years earlier. He had asked forgiveness and been forgiven by the individual he had wronged but his Church had not forgiven him. I discussed the ground of performance as contrasted with the ground of forgiveness. His wife wrote me a week later and asked me to send them a recap of what I said. That letter is contained in this message
