Just far enough away from LDC
Okay, let's be controversial here.

Was he a terrorist? YES
Was he a murderer? MOST LIKELY
Did he cause pain and suffering to many many families? UNDOUBTEDLY
Did he play a significant part on the peace process? YES
Did his actions in later life improve the prospects for peace in northern Ireland? YES
Did his work with Ian Paisley give hope to many families on both sides? HIGHLY LIKELY

So on balance he seems to have been a sinner who repented. In which case I'm sure the Christians on both sides of this debate will do the Christian thing

It's probably easier to look at what Colin Parry says today which is that you can't forgive what he did but you have to respect the man he became in later life
