So when should we forgive Ben Ladner?

So when should we forgive Ben Ladner?

This question was evoked by my blog on forgiveness and the answer is simple. We should forgive him at once – which is quite a different matter than holding him accountable or bringing him before the bar of justice, should that be called for. The point of my blog was that an act of forgiveness has little to do with the individual being forgiven and everything to do with making ourselves whole.
