Weeping is a gentle release of water that washes, baptizes, and renews. Weeping leads to owning our complicity in the problem. Weeping is the opposite of blaming and also the opposite of denying. It leads to deep healing when inspired by the Spirit. . . . When the weeping mode is lost, all our grief seems to turn to anger and accusation. . . . I am afraid much of the church is . . accusing instead of grieving.
