In a speech given by Her Majesty the Queen at the opening of the eighth General Synod of the Church of England, she spoke today of the enduring relevance of the Christian faith for all people everywhere in an age of rapid societal change.
"For Christians, this pace of change represents an opportunity. When so much is in flux, when limitless amounts of information, much of it ephemeral, are instantly accessible on demand, there is a renewed hunger for that which endures and gives meaning. The Christian church can speak uniquely to that need, for at the heart of our faith stands the conviction that all people, irrespective of race, background or circumstances, can find lasting significance and purpose in the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
