‘Proclaiming the end of greed and the role of hope’

One of the morning worship services at the 226th General Assembly focused on how greed affects our capacity to embody hope. Associate dean for the Graduate School of Theology, University of the Redlands, the Rev. Ruth T. West, took her inspiration from the Assembly’s theme, “Live into Hope,” and the similarly titled hymn’s (Glory to God, #772) verse: “Live into hope of captors freed of sight regained, the end of greed.”
