Trump and May can start by saving Christianity from its PC assassins

When President Trump and Prime Minister May meet in the New Year, the forgotten Faith of the English-speaking democracies deserves to be on the agenda.

Neither of them should forget that Christian hymns were sung at the birth of the Special Relationship when Roosevelt and Churchill met on board ship in the Atlantic in August 1941.

One of them, Onward Christian Soldiers, chosen personally by Churchill for the famous Sunday service on the deck of HMS Prince of Wales, became popular during his late Victorian boyhood. It celebrates the spiritual victory that God Incarnate, the Lord Jesus Christ, has achieved over the Satanic forces of evil through his sin-bearing death on the Cross:

‘Onward, Christians soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus going on before. Christ the royal Master leads against the foe…At the sign of triumph Satan’s host doth flee; on then, Christian soldiers, on to victory.’

This reflects the Apostle Paul’s description in the New Testament of God’s cosmic triumph through Christ’s atoning death: ‘And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it’ (Colossians 2v15 – AV).

But neither Churchill nor Roosevelt could possibly have predicted how 75 years later the Christian democracies they helped save would be treating the servants of the Royal Master; how since the 1960s, in the US, Britain, and Canada, and to some extent in Australia and New Zealand, the politically correct establishment has increasingly been playing Ugly Sister to Christianity’s Cinderella; and how the right of Christians to uphold their beliefs in civic life, particularly in the workplace, has been under growing threat from the social Marxists who have gained power in these societies – until the democratic revolt of 2016.
