Trying to better understand what identificational repentance is, I asked Thomas' wife Amy, who's very much involved with him in the work, how she might describe it and here's what she said: "Identificational repentance recognizes the grave sin of one's people, either past or present. It grieves the sin, recognizes its consequences at least in part (only God sees the full consequences of our sin), and then pleads for mercy, conviction, and justice to right any remaining wrongs. Identificational repentance acknowledges our connection to our past, our own proclivity to sin, and the great mercy of God in helping us grieve over things which grieve His heart."
