We work so hard to be respectful and pure and upright and yet Christ gave up his respectability and power to be crucified as a criminal. What if we entered the the story and didn't try to escape it with a kernel of truth? What if we felt the discomfort, saw the truth and felt the pain?
Questions for discussion: Where has there been shame in your story that you kept hidden? What has happened when you let the light in? How can we give up of our power and privilege to ally with those burdened by shame and exclusion? If we rush towards the pain instead of away from it -- could there be freedom?
