Farron also believes that honesty and integrity in public office holders are key factors that have been largely missing in much of public life both in government and the church. He said, \u201cwe\u2019ve almost got to the point where there\u2019s little accountability\u201d. He went on, \u201cAll lead by example\u2014either good or bad\u201d.<\/p>\n
He thinks JKA Smith\u2019s book, \u2018Awaiting the King\u2019 offers a pretty good explanation of the current situation. Farron said in one portion, \u201cKing refers to \u2018western liberal democracies bearing the crater marks of the gospel\u2019 and agreeing explained; \u201ceven though we may not largely be a Christian country today, our values, norms and institutions are nevertheless based on a Christian world view: justice, grace, personal responsibility, care for the needy, the knowledge that if people are sinners then you don\u2019t want power concentrated in the hands of too few of them! The \u2018crater marks\u2019 point is more that as we move away from Christianity, then those marks will become fainter and fainter until such point that integrity may matter less and less\u201d.<\/p>\n
When asked about what he sees as the next big moral issues facing the nation he was quick and to the point: 1.) \u201cthe effort to decriminalise all abortion up to the point of birth\u201d; and, 2.) \u201cassisted dying\u201d. He does not believe that the former will find the support necessary to be approved by parliament and that assisted dying will be a big battle. <\/p>\n
