Note: this piece is adapted from a new essay I wrote for the Southwestern Law Review that is available here. Several years ago, a debate raged in my local paper’s opinion section. Should sex offenders be allowed in church?, or something of the like. I wasn’t a churchgoer, but I had a spiritual experience that I didn’t know what to do with. I asked one of my friends in law school who I knew was religious, and who knew my story, if she would take me to hers. She took me.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I’m so glad they showed up for you. May we all do the same for others.
Thanks for sharing! You are such a talented writer and have such important things to say. Keep it up!
This story should go out to the public somehow it would maybe help there opinion on the way they think...
Wow! We do not get to hear many stories that are so uplifting as this one. It gives us hope. Thanks.
