The Telegraph is on a roll today-
The Queen has delivered a staunch and strongly-worded defence of the Church and religion in the face of a growing divide between faith and secularism. In a timely address to leaders of Britain’s nine main religions at Lambeth Palace, London home of the Archbishop of Canterbury, she highlighted the importance of faith in society and the “critical guidance” it offered in life. “The concept of our established Church is occasionally missunderstood and, I believe, commonly under-appreciated,” she said.
“Its role is not to defend Anglicanism to the exclusion of other religions. Instead, the Church has a duty to protect the free practice of all faiths in this country.” The monarch, speaking at the first public event to mark her Diamond Jubilee, said that Church was “woven into the fabric of this country” and had helped to build a better society. It has “created an environment for other faith communities and indeed people of no faith to live freely”, she added.
Secularists need to drink from the cup of intelligence and realize that Britain wasn’t built on a foundation of secularism. Britain isn’t Britain because secularists did all the hard work. In fact, history can easily do without secularism but without Christianity British history wouldn’t even be possible or conceivable.
Christians in Britain need to wage war on secularism the same way that secularism is waging war on them.
