Evil Beyond Salvation? ::
Isn't it interesting when people do not act the way you expect, and isn't it sad when they act all too predictably?
Peter Liddell's case was in the news again. A multiple child molester, who keeps reoffending, his latest conviction was for crimes committed not far from our bach. A lovely spot tarnished by human evil.
And then there's Glynn Cardy (Vicar of St Matthew's in the City) in SMACA - the liberal Anglican parish's newsletter. He knew Liddell years ago. Despite his Liberal Christianity he'd lock Liddell up for life and throw away the key. (Do read his well-argued, impassioned thoughts, they're worth pondering).
Can Liddell be saved?
Could he be redeemed?
Should he ever be released?
How do we respond to the stain of evil hidden behind a plausible manner and a winning smile?
