The New Pagan or the Cosmocitizen: Which? 

 

 

 

 Jonathan Sacks was one who long ago identified the tendency in our  Western culture to ape  ancient pagan norms and practices.

 In his marvellous volume Essays on Ethics, Sacks wrote:

 

 

'In countless ways, in its focus on the body, in its emphasis on material goods and physical sports, in its prioritising of politics over personal morality as the way to change the world, in its approach to sexual ethics. abortion and euthanasia, the West today has reverted to the values and practices of pre-Christian Greece and Rome."
