The faithful call for 'accountability now' is a call to keep memory and body, body and members together. Re-membering the church is about literally reconnecting the body to itself, to all its parts and members. It is about integrating its history and healing its memories. It is about making the body whole. Francine Cardman, in her keynote address to the VOTF Indianapolis Convocation, July 9, 2005
