Kevin, I love this idea. In response to someone's pain, "I didn't cause that!" may be strictly accurate, but it sounds a lot like a little kid trying to make sure someone else gets blamed, and it's miles away from mourning with those who mourn. Being able to say I'm sorry is an important way to say I see you and I'm interested in your well-being. This effort seems like it can be an important element in the work of cultural repentance we can engage in.
Love this! Might cause some healing and other people to say sorry for their mistakes!
