“Seeking Restoration and Healing”

At some point, hopefully soon, we will have to do the deeper work of healing in our country. That moment isn’t now, because first we have to stabilize the wounded, and stop the harm.  Yet eventually we’ll have to do the deep and hard work of restorative justice.  Together, lets explore what healing might look like as we plan and prepare for doing the work of restoration.
