Hope in Hard Times

Rev. David Bloom


December 29, 2013


We live in what some are calling a transitional moment in American history. As Paul wrote in II Corinthians, “everything old has passed away; everything has become new!” But what is this newness? Does it contain hope for a better world: solving poverty and homelessness; ending war and violence; saving our environment? Or are we condemned to repeat the mistakes of the past that place the very survival of our species at risk? The coming of a new year offers us an annual opportunity to reflect on such fundamental questions and on the call of our faith to confront the hard issues of our day with hope and determination. Rev Bloom is an American Baptist Minister and a favorite visitor to our pulpit.
