Anthem
For the Troubles and the Sufferings
Words and Music by Rodolfo Gaede Neto Arranged by Hal Hopson The Seminary Singers
The anthem will be sung in both English and Spanish.
For the troubles and the sufferings of the world, God, we call upon your mercy: the whole creation's laboring in pain! Lend an ear to the rising cry for help from oppressed and hopeless people. Come! Hasten your salvation, healing love! We pray for peace, the blessed peace that comes from making justice, to cover and embrace us. Have mercy God! We pray for power, the power that will sustain your people's witness; until you kin-dom come, Kyrie eleison. Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear your voice, O God.

Benediction
*Recessional Hymn (*Please stand as you are able)
How Weary Are Our Hearts, O GodDr. Wariboko
1. How weary are our hearts, O God, how worn from fear and grief,
from ever-longer litanies
of needs without relief.Divisions plague our public life, and bitter words increase.
Few voices seek the common good or urge the ways of peace.3. Then send us forth
as salt and light and years,to be the bearers of shalom
to greatest and to least.
When discord, doubt, and shadows loom bring union, trust, and light; restore the earth's lost harmony
and turn our wrongs to right.Words by Carl P. Daw, Jr., Adjunct Professor of Hymnology, Curator of Hymnological Collections, 2016, Hope Publishing Co. Reprinted under OneLicense.net #A707629. Music: KINGSFOLD, traditional English melody.

2. So root us in your saving love,
so ground us in your grace,
that we may know you hold our lives secure in your embrace.Give us the inner strength of faith, enlarge hope's confidence;
above all fill us with your love transcending human sense.into the world

Walter G. Muelder Professor of Social EthicsA lively transdisciplinary thinker, Dr. Nimi Wariboko loves to unfold, refold, enfold, and
energize past and present ideas and hopes in relation to the possibilities of future human
flourishing. The five pillars of his scholarship are economic ethics, Christian social ethics,
African social traditions, Pentecostal studies, and philosophical theology. The structure of this
creative body of work, which is characterized by rigorous interweaving of original insights from
each of these fields, is mapped out by the following five central titles. The Principle of Excellence: A
Framework for Social Ethics
presents social ethics as action-provoking-and-guiding theories of
praxis and actualization of potentialities for a more flourishing, inclusive, and creatively
reconciled society; the focus of
God and Money: A Theology of Money in a Globalizing World is a call for
an alternative, inclusive global monetary system that can better support developing
economies; Ethics and Time: Ethos of Temporal Orientation in Politics and Religion of the Niger
Delta explores the emancipatory core of African culture; The Pentecostal Principle: Ethical Methodology
in New Spirit develops a pneumatological methodology of ethics for public policies in pluralistic
communities that are open to God's Spirit; and
Economics in Spirit and Truth: A Moral Philosophy of
Finance situates a social justice-oriented "care of the soul" at the intersection of radical
continental philosophy, economics, and politics to craft an ethics of antifragility
and potent freedom that might counter the fragilities unleashed against our socio-economic fabric
by late capitalism or global finance capital.
