‘We are a Christian country and we should not be afraid to say so.
'The Bible has helped to give Britain a set of values and morals which make Britain what it is today. Values and morals we should actively stand up and defend.
‘Whether you look at the riots last summer, the financial crash and the expenses scandal or the on-going terrorist threat from Islamist extremists around the world, one thing is clear, moral neutrality or passive tolerance just isn’t going to cut it any more.
‘Put simply, for too long we have been unwilling to distinguish right from wrong. “Live and let live” has too often become “do what you please”.
‘Bad choices have too often been defended as just different lifestyles. To be confident in saying something is wrong is not a sign of weakness, it’s a strength.’
Your choices are:
- Head of the Anglican Church Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury
- British Prime Minister David Cameron
Bonus question:
Which of the above leading British public figures ought to have spoken out in defence of Christianity?
