Presentation transcript:

WHEN FAITH BECOMES HOPE  Peace with God means conflict with the world, for the goad of the promised future stabs inexorably into the flesh of every unfulfilled present.' Jurgen Moltmann

HOPE LEADS TO ACTION  'Faith is not characterised by an attitude of indifference or passivity towards the way the world is.....

HOPE LEADS TO ACTION  This same call is fulfilled not by turning inwards to form some 'spiritual' community,

HOPE LEADS TO ACTION  But by immersing ourselves actively in the very midst of the world's darkness and most depraved corners as salt and light with potentially transforming impact.'
