It is funny, but our chapter was initially different. I remember there was great acceptance of sinners and a great hope that anyone, no matter how sinful, could be used by God. There were many gracious people who were great encouragements to sinners. However, all these encouraging people left and the least graceful people remained. The ones who put their hands in the air and said "you must reach my standard, or else!" Those are the kind of people who stayed. The great thing is that Christ's mercy does not depend on people or UBF. It is there for all of us like an abundant fountain that pours forth for all.
