The religious community should become “stone catchers” instead of throwing stones at those who have sinned, or witnessing others throwing stones, the religious community should catch these stones so they don’t hit their intended target

The use of Jonah as a lesson about easy catharsis in the place of real healing—- really great. Embrace the grief. You cannot isolate the badness to eliminate the grief. Bring love and tenderness to the system. Heal the community

“There is no sacrificing the wicked in service of the righteous. For any of us to be saved all of us must be saved together. No more us and them. No more save us by abandoning them. No more heal us by injuring them. No more free us by binding them. No more enliven us by killing them. No more. Human life lived in God’s image, lived fully, is found in the crossing over of ourselves to the well-being of others”

Re-appropriating Jesus for progressives: “we don’t have to have prisons anymore… because Jesus has taken the atonement for us.” We can instead be restorative for our community “forgive not 7 times but 77 times”
