‘On the one hand, the church will identify with its culture, living in solidarity with and affirming it, while mediating the call in terms and forms that are familiar.
On the other hand, the church will be separate from its culture, living in opposition to and rejecting its idolatry, mediating a challenging call to repentance and conversion.’

"Before every session, I take a moment to remember my humanity. There is no experience that this man has that I cannot share with him, no fear that I cannot understand, no suffering that I cannot care about, because I too am human.
No matter how deep his wound, he does not need to be ashamed in front of me. I too am vulnerable. And because of this, I am enough. Whatever his story, he no longer needs to be alone with it.
This is what will allow his healing to begin."
