Hope
The final line of the article was dropped. The correct final paragraph should be:
Hope is not faith. Hope is not love. I believe it is the foundation and corrective for both. If we take it seriously, I think we have a way around the current impasse. It won’t be easy. And it does not appear to me that the resulting church will look like our current institutions. But I do think it will be a church that finds it easier to pursue the future God is bringing. That, anyway, is my hope.
