‘Nothing less than Christ will do. We are to be imitators of Christ.’
The Reverend Dr Nicholas Sagovsky, Canon of Westminster
Greed has been defined as ‘an excessive, single-minded desire for gain’. Both Old and New Testaments provide stories to warn against greed. It’s all too easy to point the finger at others for being greedy. In a materialist society, we all need to cultivate the antidote to greed: generosity.
The Right Reverend John Oliver, Honorary Chaplain and Trustee of RABI
The Reverend Dr Nicholas Sagovsky, Canon in Residence
Pride is the sin where our sense of our own power and importance runs out of control, and we end up putting ourselves in the place of God. Pride blinds us to the reality that, wonderful though human beings may be, we are just creatures, like other creatures, and it is good for us humbly to accept what God has willed for us. As Dante says, ‘In his will is our peace’.
