Britain--A Fresh Look at the Lack of Biblical Values

Material wealth often masks spiritual and moral poverty, and not just in the United States. Our correspondent in Britain sees evidence all around.

by John Ross Schroeder

Traditional British cultural values are fast disappearing--steadily undermined by the forces of secularism and a growing ignorance of the Bible. The state of British society is generally judged almost solely by the standard of material prosperity.

Britons today take previously undreamed of holidays abroad. Florida and the Costa del Sol in Spain are particular favorites. The years of sacrificial rationing, particularly after World War II, have given way to a plethora of brand-new motor cars and all the many multifaceted modern conveniences that our Western technology can provide.

Economically, few want to return to yesteryear. But we must ask the question: Can this material prosperity continue to defy the uncivilized face of a culture in deep crisis, where traditional family values are increasingly found meaningless? In the long run, can the marketplace prosper without moral values being practiced by the citizenry?

There is no question that there are very big holes in Britain's national fabric. Relationships are fragile. The land is full of broken marriages, lonely people, confused and uncared for children, rising violence, plus a marked decline in courtesy, civility and good manners. Even the standard of driving has suffered in recent years.
