Judaeo-Christian Principles Vital to Rebuilding Western Civilisation
Some of the most influential people in the world were told that to rebuild and renew our societies, faith in Christ is essential.
The importance of genuine Christian belief to the urgent task of rebuilding Western civilisation was a central theme at the sold-out Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference, which was attended by around 4,000 people in London.
It brought together a coalition of thinkers, entrepreneurs, politicians and other influencers on the right side of the political spectrum.
Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott and former Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson headed a strong Australian delegation.
What is the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship?
ARC was set up by Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson and British Tory peer Baroness Philippa Stroud as a rival to the globalist and more liberal World Economic Forum which meets in Davos, Switzerland every January.
Among the group’s known financial backers is British hedge fund boss, philanthropist and media tycoon Sir Paul Marshall whose worldview is shaped by his evangelical Christian faith.
The Guardian reports Sir Paul’s influence on UK right-wing discourse is growing, not just through his conservative GB News TV channel, but also his ownership of The Spectator magazine and the Unherd website.
He is not a member of a political party, but has been quoted as saying in a pre-conference interview that faith and politics were a “dangerous combination.”
Christian Faith a Central Theme of the Conference
The ARC conference was not explicitly a faith-based event, but a distinctly religious theme was evident throughout its duration.
There was broad agreement of the importance of Judaeo-Christian principles to the transformation of society, despite not all speakers being Christians.
Speakers included Muslim-to-atheist-to-Christian convert Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who criticised multiculturalism and said the “nation state needs Christian morality.”
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, whose populist brand of politics has rarely made reference to the Christian faith, said Britons should have more children to restore traditional Judaeo-Christian culture.
“We’ve kind of forgotten that what underpins everything is our Judaeo-Christian culture and that’s where we need to start,” he asserted
“If we recognise that, and if we value that, then I think everything comes from that,” he added.
Christians Underline Importance of Faith in Rebuilding Nations
Christian Today reports many Christian speakers emphasised the importance of genuine faith to rebuilding nations.
US Catholic Bishop Robert Barron who’s a prolific commentator on faith issues, proclaimed: “I’m here to speak to you about God.”
“That’s because my deep conviction is there can be no real political and economic development without some reference to the ‘summum bonum’ — the highest good.”
“You can’t tell the story of Western civilisation without reference to God.”
“My thesis is when God is bracketed, God is set aside or forgotten, societies tend to collapse in on themselves and they implode,” the Bishop observed.
“If we want real progress and not just a superficial one, we have to have reference to God.”
“Don’t believe the modern lie that somehow belief in God chains the spirit,” the Bishop declared, to rousing applause.
“The opposite is true. It’s belief in God that unleashes the spirit.”
“Christian Faith will Only Be Effective If It’s Understood to Be True”
Christian thinker Os Guinness also gave a rousing speech, reflecting on world events since the horrors of the October 7 attacks on Israel:
“Since then we’ve seen the incredible convergence between radical Islamism long planned by Hitler and the grand Mufti of Jerusalem back in 1941, and radical Marxism in its cultural Marxist form.”
“What we’ve seen since 2023 is that fateful convergence of these two radicalisms.”
“The Christian faith will only be true and effective, if it’s understood to be true, and you have enough people who are citizens who have an ultimate loyalty to what they see is ultimate reality.”
Evangelical apologist Amy Orr-Ewing focused on the importance of Christian beliefs: “Forgiveness and redemption are one of the richest traditions in Western culture.”
“They are being lost to cancel culture in a manner reminiscent of totalitarian regimes.”
Baroness Stroud closed the conference by saying: “Many have said we live in an ‘era of decline’.”
“But we have an urgent message for Western leaders: Decline is not inevitable, but we must act to renew our societies.”

Recall Andrew Thorburn. He lost his job not because he did anything wrong, but because a new worldview has quietly captured Australia's public square. The Australian Christian Freedom Index shows just how far that capture has gone.
Daniel 11 is a prophetic timeline from Daniel to the time of the end, written hundreds of years ago.
The king of the south represents the Muslim nations and hanger oners. The king of the north represents the Roman Empire nations. Israel (and grafter in believers ) are in the midst. Daniel 11 v36 is referring to Antichrist as in Revelation 13.
In Psalm 2 We see the nation rulers raging against Yah seeking to destroy Yah’s commandments . Since 2015 the UN AGENDA 2030 (WITH 194 NATIONS INCLUDING AUSTRALIA) has been building the infrastructure necessary for one world government. In Australia it is our federal governments (LNP AND ALP) who are legislated laws that defy Yah’s commandments. Ps 2 tells us that Yahweh has handed Australia to Yeshua for judgment – things like terrorism, plagues, violence, wars, economic suffering and environmental disasters. our rulers are calling evil good and good as evil.
There is no doubt the world is close to one world government under Antichrist.
it is imperative that believers soberly test whether they are in Christ.
Are Yah’s words truth? Test what your church teaches against Yah’s words. Why? The Bible warns us continually about false doctrine- instructing us to have nothing to do with false doctrine.
Does your church bless what Yah says is an abomination? Is 10 says Woe to those who legislate unrighteousness. Do not be fooled Yah’s words must not be twisted, distorted . God’s words must not be changed by adding to them or subtracting from them. Revelation 22 says taking away from His words will result in the removal of your name from His Book of Life.
Time to wake up. Your life depends on it.
