Trying to be a better human

The Citizen

April 02, 2025

As a daughter of a former priest, the paradox of a church being a refuge for sinners while they continue to sin became a fascinating topic and I discovered that it was a deeply human phenomenon.

- SONJA BROWN

At its core, a church is meant to be a place of forgiveness, grace, and transformation. It welcomes imperfect people, acknowledging that no-one is without fault and everyone is on a journey toward self-improvement or spiritual growth.

However, I discovered that the continuation of sin, even within this refuge, can be attributed to several reasons. People are inherently imperfect.

No matter how much guidance or forgiveness they receive, temptation, bad habits and personal struggles don't vanish when people become regular churchgoers.
