>How can we best commend the gospel to the political and cultural elites in our post-Christian, secular, and progressive liberal contexts? This is a question evangelicals are facing in all Western countries, but especially in Western Europe.
>Tim Keller recently provided a masterclass in gracious apologetics when he spoke at the Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast in the Houses of Parliament in London. His address—“What Can Christianity Offer Our Society in the 21st Century?”—ought to be watched by pastors, lobbyists, and church members alike, as it will equip them with fresh arguments and models how to speak well of Christ.
>It’s to be hoped that many present were helped to see Christianity in a different light, and that by the power of the Holy Spirit they might be brought to new life in Christ. In a written statement after the event, Prime Minister Teresa May said, “The Christian gospel has transformed the United Kingdom, with its values and teachings helping to shape the laws, customs, and society of the country.”
>May added that the Prayer Breakfast was “an excellent opportunity both to celebrate Christians’ ongoing contribution to this country and to reflect on the role Christianity can play in contemporary public life,” and she urged those attending the annual event to continue their “engagement as Christians in public life for the common good of all.”
I'm not normally a Keller fan, nor of TGC, but I thought that this brought glory to Christ in a country and, specifically, parliament, that seems to have forgotten Him.
