An “unhealthy ‘me, me, me’ culture” which grew up in the 1980s is still “poisoning” community life in Britain, according to the Archbishop of York. In a reference to Margaret Thatcher, Dr John Sentamu said: “There is such a thing as society, and we all have our small part to play in making things better. We are interdependent beings living in community.” Dr Sentamu made his remarks as he launched a new book, “John Sentamu's Faith Stories” which follows 20 people who have made major contributions to their local communities. He said people should follow their example and “stop moaning and start doing something positive”. He added: “The unhealthy “me, me, me” culture that grew up in 1980s, has threatened to poison our relationships and our sense of community ever since. “The only way to build a wholesome society with a future, is for people to live differently, unselfishly and with hope in their hearts.

Pray: for all of us to recognise our role in a caring society. (Gal.5:14)
