Recently the Queen opened the general Synod of the Church of England and drew headlines like this, “Queen extols the unique power of Christianity” she said, “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.” How encouraging that the Queen agrees with what I’ve said in this column for over 20 years.
