Forgiving Dylann Roof "has become the equivalent of cheap grace"
After the murder of nine members of the congregation of the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, USA, some of the family members of those murdered offered forgiveness to the man accused of carrying out the killings. Local pastor and civil rights campaigner Reverend Nelson Rivers believes that the forgiveness by the families was giving white people a pass on feeling guilty for sustaining a culture which led to the murders and other race incidents in the US.
