Believers must ‘rediscover Biblical category of modesty’ – plea

Christians must recover the lost notion of ‘modesty’, according to a leading pastor and theologian – and not take naked showers with fellow team members after sports like rugby.

Believers ‘need to rediscover the Biblical category of “modesty” – a rather fundamental character of the people of God in the Bible which has lost prominence recently in the West,’ he says.

Jason Ward, vice chair of Church Society, and minister of St Mary’s, Chaddesden, Derby, also says Christians should avoid looking at unclothed women in classical works of art.
