Integrating with Discernment
I was once on a panel with an imam, a rabbi, a Buddhist monk and a Hindu teacher. (No, this is not the start of a joke!)

On one level, dealing with a public offense--at least one that falls short of a criminal act--can be a fairly straightforward matter. Someone like Imus issues a formal apology, and those whom he offended then say that they "accept" this apology. That happens a lot, and it is a perfectly reasonable public transaction.
But has Imus genuinely repented? And have the Rutgers team members really forgiven him? In each case I have my doubts.
