We need a new Lord Reith

[Annahavil]

Some off you will remember the morally correct Lord Reith. The man of course had his faults but generally he kept good morals. I have just been to the Sermon Audio website. I just had to share with you this information before I listen to the sermon. Lord Reith was the Director General of the B.B.C.
On the wall of Broadcasting House (home of the BBC) there is a Latin inscription that was unveiled in the 1930’s. That inscription reads: “This temple of the Arts and Muses is dedicated to Almighty God by the first governors of broadcasting in the year 1931…… It is their prayer that good seed sown may bring forth a good harvest and that all things hostile to peace and purity may be banished from this house and that the people inclining their ear to whatsoever things are beautiful and honest and of good report, may tread the path of wisdom and uprightness.”
Now we have a lowering of standards with more and more bad language and sex etc. It is so hard to watch anything without at least some bad language. The excuse is that this is realism. We have it in the real world so why not on real television? If only we had someone of Lord Reith's standard now

Some people have a selfish interest in breaking down societal standards of morality and in attempting to destroy the Church and the family, so that they can indulge their love of sin.  What better way for these sinners to change society than by taking control of the media and the schools?  We see and hear filth on all sides, while decency, religion,  and the traditioinal family are mocked as outdated nonsense.

This process has now come so far along in Britain that I don't know if there is any chance of  turning back.  What is very ironic is that many Muslims are repelled and disgusted by modern British society, and this has made them tend to become more devout, and in some cases, has radicalized them.  The course of British society over the next 20 years is anybody's guess, but unless the churches have a huge revival  they will not be playing much part in it.
