Archbishop Sentamu: Britain needs revival and renewal

Christian values can still turn the world upside down and transform people's lives from within, according to the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu. ‘Young people know in their bones that there must be something better, something more worthwhile than the self-centredness which is attracted by the promise of endless pleasure but which somehow never seems to deliver,’ he says in the The Yorkshire Post. It is not simply about numbers: It is renewal and revival, both at a personal and a corporate level, that are necessary today, he added, warning against the temptation to slide into ‘compromise and apathy’. Christians today must do a regular ‘spiritual workout’, with 'honest self-examination’ conducted in the searchlight of Christ's all-seeing, ever-gracious love. ‘In the eyes of most young people, the status quo has been tried and found wanting. Something far more worthwhile and exciting is needed.’
