The Reith Lectures

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Christianity and the World Order by The Rev Dr Edward Norman , Dean of Peter-house, Cambridge
6: The In-Dwelling Christ ' Earlier this year I heard a Church of England clergyman say on the radio that the Sex Pistols' songs are " about world order " and " changing the world ", This he linked with true Christian prophecy " ... the investing of punk rock with Christian authority is precisely what also happens when bishops and theologians endorse social democracy or cultural pluralism.'
In his final lecture Dr Norman argues that Christ's teachings should make us cautious in identifying the ultimate purposes of God with the shifting values of contemporary society.
