Let us praise: David Cameron acclaims his and Britain’s Christian faith The PM's comments are likely to be seen as an appeal to churchgoers and Anglican leaders who have been highly critical of government reforms Andy McSmith Wednesday 16 April 2014 Britain should be “confident” and “evangelical” about its status as a Christian country, even in an increasingly secular age, David Cameron has said. In an article for the Church Times, the Prime Minister said Christians “make a difference to people’s lives” and said that churches were “vital partners”. His comments are likely to be seen as an appeal to churchgoers and Anglican leaders who have been highly critical of government reforms. “I believe we should be more confident about our status as a Christian country, more ambitious about expanding the role of faith-based organisations, and, frankly, more evangelical about a faith that compels us to get out there and make a difference to people’s lives,” he wrote. He added: “Being more confident about our status as a Christian country does not somehow involve doing down other faiths or passing judgement on those with no faith at all. Many people tell me it is easier to be Jewish or Muslim in Britain than in a secular country precisely because the tolerance that Christianity demands of our society provides greater space for other religious faiths, too.” Click here for the rest of the article: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...his-and-britains-christian-faith-9265611.html
