| David Cameron: Christians should be 'more evangelical' about their faith |
Christians should be "more evangelical" about their faith and "get out there and make a difference to people's lives", David Cameron has said.
In his strongest intervention on religion to date, Mr Cameron said that in an increasingly "secular age" Christians need to be even "more confident" and "ambitious".
He said that he has personally felt the "healing power" of the Church of England's pastoral care and highlighted its role in "improving our society and the education of our children".
He said he wants to "infuse politics" with Christian "ideals and values" such as "responsibility, hard work, charity, compassion, humility and love".
Mr Cameron's comments go significantly further than his previous comments on his faith, when he said that his belief in God is a "bit like the reception for Magic FM in the Chilterns: it sort of comes and goes". » | Steven Swinford, Senior Political Correspondent | Wednesday, April 16, 2014
