Mike Farrington provides an overview of the erosion of the Christian values which have been in the foundations of the UK for hundreds of years.

  • Push God out of schools.

  • Break the traditional Judeo-Christian family concept. Break communication between parents and children, so that parents will not pass on spiritual values to their children. Achieve this by promoting excessive child rights.

  • Remove restrictions on sex. Sex is the biggest joy in life, and everyone should be free to enjoy it without restrictions People must be free to enjoy sex in all its forms. Bailey also campaigned for bestiality, orgies etc.

  • Homosexuality should be on an equal level as heterosexuality.

  • Abortion is a human right.

  • Divorce - Bailey taught that every person develops temporary 'soul bonds'. In order to find happiness, you must join together with that person with whom a bond develops, whether they are married or not. If they are married, you must break up their marriage if it is an obstacle to you finding your happiness. However, the soul bonds have no permanence, and wear out after a period of time, so you will then need to abandon that relationship and find the next one.

  • Diffuse religious radicalism. There are two parts to this strategy:

    a) Silence Christianity, and promote other faiths;

    b) After the other faiths have become strong, silence them, and create inter-faith harmony


  • Use the media to influence and create mass opinion - press, radio, TV, cinema.

  • Debase art in all its forms - make it obscene, immoral, occultic

  • Make the Church endorse every one of these changes.

The extent to which every one of these objectives has been at least in part successful over the last 70 years is both astonishing and chilling. There are of course few people who have ever heard of Alice Bailey or have been intentionally a part of the accomplishment of this plan (although, on this point, Mulinde comments that in the 1960s, 2,000 people from the criminal society in the UK made a vow to make the writings of Bailey part of UK life). Furthermore, no-one can know the precise significance of Alice Bailey's writings when put alongside many other influences during the last century. However, the fact that her vision has to a large extent been achieved is undeniable.

5. A Call to Repent

In Daniel 9 we read:

'I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.
I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed:
"O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with all who love him and obey his commands, we have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws. .. O Lord, we and our kings, our princes and our fathers are covered with shame because we have sinned against you. .. Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, O Lord, look with favour on your desolate sanctuary. Give ear, O God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. .. O Lord, listen! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, hear and act! For your sake, O my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name."'

There is no way that Britain bears the Name of the Lord in the unique way that Jerusalem did in Daniel's day, and still does; however, this country has been used by the Lord to take his Name and his Word around the world in the former times of great missionary enterprise. In the eyes of millions of people in so-called Third World countries, Britain still stands for the name of Christianity. Let us call upon God, for the sake of his Name which is so closely associated with this nation's reputation and its history, to have mercy and to turn back the tide of the last seventy years, that God's Name and Word once again may find honour in and through our land.

6. A Call to Action

However, repentance is not simply a matter of prayer. It demands a turnaround in action. Where we have passively allowed the enemy to steal from within our very midst our heritage, our beliefs, our laws, our children, our families and our very souls, we need to take up, in a spiritual sense, the call to war:

'Proclaim this among the nations:
Prepare for war!
Rouse the warriors!
Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.
Beat your ploughshares into swords
And your pruning hooks into spears.
Let the weakling say,
"I am strong!"' Joel 3:9-10

The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. I believe that God is calling his people to rise up and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in this nation with a boldness, confidence and authority as never before. As young men in the nineteenth century went with passion into the mission field in Africa and other parts of the world, knowing that their life expectancy was but a matter of months, so we need to stir ourselves with a zeal that is worthy of our Lord and His Name, and make known again the message for which this land was once famous. For your Gospel, and your Gospel alone, O Lord, is the hope for our nation.
