"There must be repentance and a turning away from their sinful ways before any meaningful restoration can take place. There is a call for an interior transformation before there can be any external, structural restoration. This, I propose, is the paradigm that we, as a nation and as a city must embrace in order that the desired lasting restoration can be realised."
