Don’t speak about your faith unless you’re asked to says Archbishop of Canterbury
by John Bingham, Telegraph:
Christians should not talk to people about their faith unless they are actively invited to do so, the Archbishop of Canterbury has insisted.
The Most Rev Justin Welby, said enthusiastic members of his flock should not to be afraid to talk about Christianity in a more secular society but advised them to listen to others before saying anything and, crucially, to wait until they are asked.
Under Archbishop Welby, the Church of England has recently launched what is being viewed as its biggest evangelism drive in a generation in an effort to reverse decades of decline.
As part of an initiative spearheaded by Archbishop Welby and the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, churches across England were asked to devote the nine-day period leading up to Pentecost last weekend to a special period of prayer for religious revival.
It culminated in events last Sunday in which some of England’s most famous cathedrals including Canterbury, Durham, Winchester, Ely and St Paul’s, London were given over to rock concerts-style music. In St Paul’s five bishops were photographed dancing in their cassocks.
