    @AntheaButler I heard @MiroslavVolf speak earlier this year: he noted forgiveness only reconciles if forgiven party admits wrong, repents.

      @AntheaButler Families' forgiveness for Roof can't be separated from pleas that he repent, I.e. receive forgiveness. @MiroslavVolf

        @AntheaButler W/o repentance/reception step, said @MiroslavVolf, which requires offender to humiliate himself, admit wrong, no reconciling.

          @AntheaButler Another @MiroslavVolf point: repentance elevates injured party by recognizing human dignity; says "against YOU I have sinned"
