Faithfulness in a 'post-Christian' Britain

There was a time when much of British public life at least assumed a broadly Christian moral framework. That did not mean Britain was ever truly a “Christian nation” in the Biblical sense, nor that previous generations were necessarily more godly. But Christian convictions about marriage, family, human dignity, sexuality, the value of life and the place of religion in public life were often understood, even by those who did not personally believe the gospel.

That landscape has changed.

Increasingly, Christians find themselves living in a culture that not only rejects many Biblical convictions but sometimes struggles even to understand them. Beliefs that were once considered ordinary can now sound strange, offensive or even dangerous.
