Authors of the appeal expressed their concern about the spiritual state of modern society and youth in particular. “One becomes a witness of the growth of fraud, corruption and violence in everyday life. Hard drinking, drug addiction, prostitution and crime exist even among under aged children.”

Immorality comes to people lives through the press, TV and internet which promote violence, pornography, sex and cruelty.

Leviticus 22:29
