Letters to the Telegraph–It is a mistake to exclude Christianity from Professional Life

Here is one:

Last Sunday, in my local Anglican church, we were enjoined to take our Christian faith to the work-place, as “worship” is not just about sitting on a pew, but informs every part of our lives. That is why William Wilberforce worked to abolish slavery; that is why many work with the homeless and addicts here, or are going abroad to help the poor and disadvantaged there.

The Christian faith is the motivating force for many who seek to do good. Why? Because Christians are obeying the words of Jesus as written by St Matthew: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”

For two thousand years this is what Christians have been doing, and in the process they have played a part in shaping Western civilisation. For as long as society, judges and the General Medical Council allow freedom of religion and speech in our country, Christians will continue to do this.
