Why this matters: Forgiveness can support healing, but it should not silence victims or remove responsibility.
The central tension is between emphasising mercy and requiring restitution and consequences. This is a welcoming space for evidence, practical experience and respectful disagreement.
Discussion safeguard: Treat all religions and non-religious views respectfully. Do not present one faith as proof of another person’s inferiority or justify coercion.
