A landmark report on the relationship between Faith and Nation has been published by the Evangelical Alliance. It takes a good hard look at the role Christian faith has played in the past in the UK and looks also at current developments such as the marginalisation of the role of faith, & the 'creep' of secularism and individualism into political decision-making.
.
‘Faith and Nation’ gives 100 recommendations on areas as diverse as religious liberty, the environment, and constitutional matters, including the call for the Coronation Ceremony to retain the phrase ‘Defender of the Faith’. It's a heavy read but packed with a depth of insight into where the UK is at right now. Joel Green dares to hope that it will be a prophetic voice. Anyone with a social conscience and a desire to understand & address the nation's prophetic needs would be well-placed to give it a read. It's all available on the Web.
.
Christian denominations and representatives from other faiths were also invited to contribute.
