Christian Humanism: point 3

Point three: Live in hope.

This is not a call for optimism, but it is a rejection of pessimism. The Christian Humanist affirms human potential as the image-bearer of God who has rationality. While recognizing the inherent fallen-ness of man [my clarification], he or she will not live in subservience to evil or totalitarianism (the speaker was active in the anti-apartheid movement).

well, i sure hope so, since our HOPE is in Jesus... the question becomes "shouldn't we all be Christian Humanists"?
