It seems virtually overnight Christians and Christian leaders have gone from the ‘good guys’ in the society to the ‘bad guys.’  The speed of change has blindsided us. 

The new religion of sexual identity and sexual freedom is on the ascendancy.  It’s proclaimed as the locus of deep and lasting meaning, where the truly authentic life is.

But secularism is not neutral.  We used to work on the assumption that public square would be a neutral venue where ideas could be discussed freely.   We prepared for an open market.  We didn’t realise that there would be huge tariffs. 

There are two competing narratives in the west, locked in a death grip.  And what happens to the ‘Western Ship’ as society loses its moorings from the Christian Gospel and drifts into unchartered waters.  What will a post Christian existence look like?  Full of fear and empty of human kindness. 

Is there any light in this darkness. Stephen McAlpine argues yes, in his book to be released in the new year, ‘Being the bad guys.’
