Text transcribed from caption: PC-45840 DESCRIBES WESTERN CIVILIZATION’S DECAY LAUSANNE -- Malcolm Muggeridge, the famed British journalist and satirist, told the International Congress on World Evangelization in Lausanne, Switzerland, that Western civilization is in “an advanced stage of decomposition.” But he also told the 4,000 evangelical leaders from 150 countries in the audience that they should not be discouraged by cultural decay. In many respects, he said, “crack-up conditions are more conducive to the understanding the practice of the Christian religion than ostensible stability and prosperity.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (F-LAU-7E-74-D)
