Wright: Why do good in a hopeless world?

[Christianity Today UK] 26 Nov 2008--Why do good in what seems to be a hopeless world? This was the question posed by Church of England Bishop N T Wright to students at Harvard University.

In a post-September 11 world where the Aids epidemic and credit crisis are ailing millions, "why should we try to make a difference at all?" he asked. "Why should we try to do good ... to create good things out there in the world when in fact all the hope that our society has lived on seems to be imploding all around us?"

Ultimately, it is the belief and hope that the world will be good and ordered as it was in the beginning.
