A healthy Christian culture would manifest: - A love of beauty permeating every part of life - A deep respect for the majesty and liberty of God - A holy recognition of the deep biblical antithesis - Humility in covenantal redemption - Laughter as a habit of life - A devotion to celebration--feasting and lovemaking - The centrality of the Church - A humble submission to godly traditions - The peace of federal headship in marriage - A soulful nurturing of children for millennia - A community shaped by rural rhythms - Self-responsibility and a fading state - An acknowledgement of creational hierarchies - A harmony of gratitude and discipline in developing technologies - The predominance of poetic over rationalistic knowledge - A confidence in the triumph of the cross
