How (not) to heal brokenness

In his last of a seven-sermon series on "Before a Watching World," Phil Kniss, lead pastor at Park View Mennonite Church, Harrisonburg, VA., told his congregation that while a broken world needs healing right now, "so do we," referring to the gathered community of faith. "We need it for every kind of brokenness that we are right now carrying around in our beings--burdens of brokenness in our relationships. There are more than enough burdens that God wants to lift right here in our midst. We are a healing a community, a community of wounded healers."
