The Bishop of London has warned that fundamental concepts vital to British society will be unsustainable without a Christian underpinning. The Rt Revd Richard Chartres said Britain’s culture and civilisation were founded on the Bible, and expressed concern at any undermining of that foundation. Rt Revd Chartres, who gave the sermon at last month’s Royal Wedding, was speaking at a symposium in the House of Lords on the Bible. He said: ‘The economy and politics must have ground beneath them. In Britain that ground has been biblical since our earliest days – and you do not sacrifice that without sacrificing much of what has been built upon that ground.’ The Bishop also commented that concepts such at dignity and tolerance would be ‘very difficult to sustain without a Christian ground’.

Pray: for recognition of the Word of God as fundamental to our society and culture. (Dt.31:12)
