from Christian Concern
For all of our existence, Christian Concern has been clear that Jesus Christ is the hope for our nation. Paul Huxley reflects on our Lent campaign and the hope of what a Christian nation might offer a society.
It’s been a delight through Lent to be involved in our Hope for our Nation series, praying for all kinds of areas of our nation’s life: culture, families and education, government and business, health and social care, the justice system and the Church.
More than praying, we’ve sought to outline some of the changes that we need to see across society for the good of everyone. There’s far more to think about and to say than we could possibly have covered in these six weeks but we want to want to give some answers to what a more-Christian nation would look like.
There’s a lot of talk about Christian nationalism about.
For all its existence, Christian Concern has been clear that Jesus Christ is the hope for our nation. Our very-early logo showed a cross over a projection of the United Kingdom. ‘Speaking of Jesus Christ in public life’. ‘Bringing the hope of Jesus Christ to the heart of society’. We’ve always sought to be about him – not just Christian principles or ‘traditional values’.
So when we talk about Christian nations, it’s not a motto we’ve picked up and run with from enthusiastic accounts on X. It’s been our mission as long as we’ve existed.
