Description
Christianity in modern Britain faces increasing marginalisation. Secular assumptions are being introduced into our way of life, restricting Christian social initiatives and limiting engagement with politicians and opinion formers. The Bible and Prayer Book remain seminal for our language and literature, while Christian social action predated the modern welfare state. Our laws are based on Christian ethical systems. It is time to re-engage with the world, not defensively but with confidence and hope. A proper debate about the place of faith in modern Britain is long overdue. This book invites Christians to push back against marginalisation and reclaim their role in society.
