The public is invited to participate Bring Back Em According to a recent Newsweel article, the excessive greed anc avarice which so characterized the decade of the 1980s is over. Gone are the young monej changers whose inside trading made fortunes overnight. Gone are the days of the oil boom making Texas z center of population, power and in fluence. Gone are the TV preacher! with their Kold-nlated bathroom fix tures and air-conditioned dog house Gone is the "you can have it all' _!_!? * fit piuiosopny oi me yuppies. Newsweek's article seemed to suggest that greed has suddenly gone oul of vogue Hurray! What an epitaph for a decade! Our greed caught up with us. How could our society have gotten so off-base? Greed suggests having more than one needs or can possibly use. Why wasn't there a challenge to this ethical mongrel? When Ivan Boesky wrote in 1985, "Greed is not a bad thing." Surely, we who are Christians know better. Greed and avarice are one of the classical seven deadly sins, Yet, for what remains a mystery, we have watched the gap widen between the wealthy and the poor in America. The Church has not screamed bloody murder, and there has been no public outcry from the Christian community as the yuppie philosophy swept the country. This sophisticated, more grown-up philosophy of the "me" generation s creed snouia nave been vigorously challenged years ago. From its birth, this generation has believed "I deserve it all." This coincide with the decline of the pthirQ anH value system which produced the Peace Corps and VISTA. In a word play on the popular phrase from the Kennedy inauguration speech, as children the yuppie began asking not "What can I do for my country?" but rather "What can my parents, teachers and country do for me?" After college, during job interviews. they asked, "What can your company do for me if I go to work for it?" Fast money and excessive luxury became the brass ring for the young professional. It is not surprising that in such an atmosphere anything approximating Christian ethics collapsed. The Church needs to take the offensive in matters of ethics. Surely the teachings of Christ call into question any notion of avarice and greed, no matter now carefully packaged. The story of the rich man who built extra barns?on the day of his eternal accountability?is just on example. The [%7I?1 ST. JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH J The Rev.

How has such a plight come about? Has the church become so intimidated by the culture and so enamored by its glitzy ways that it refuses to challenge such sinful notions as greed? It would seem so. That's why the church of the '90s needs to assume its responsibility to teach and promote true Christian ethics and hopefully prevent any recurrence of the ethical disaster of the '80s. (Rev.
