英国首相卡梅伦2014年复活节视频致辞
Easter is the most important date in theChristian calendar, and an incredibly special time for people across Britainand around the world. Last month I was in Jerusalem and Bethlehem and I got tosee for myself the places where Jesus was born and died. It was anextraordinary experience to be in those places where so much history began.
Today, 2000 years on, Easter is not just atime for Christians across our country to reflect, but a time for our wholecountry to reflect on what Christianity brings to Britain. All over the UK,every day, there are countless acts of kindness carried out by those whobelieve in and follow Christ. The heart of Christianity is to “love thyneighbor” and millions do really live that out. I think of the Alpha coursesrun in our prisons, which work with offenders to give them a new life insideand outside prison, or the soup kitchens and homeless shelters run by churches.And we saw that same spirit during the terrible storms that struck Britainearlier this year. From Somerset to Surrey, from Oxford to Devon, churchesbecame refuges, offering shelter and food, congregations raised funds andrallied together, parish priests even canoed through their villages to rescueresidents. They proved, yet again, that people’s faith motivates them to dogood deeds.
That is something this Government supportsand celebrates, and it’s why we have announced more funding for the NearNeighbours programme bringing together even more faiths in even more cities todo social action. And as we celebrate Easter, let’s also think of those who areunable to do so, the Christians around the world who are ostracised, abused –even murdered – simply for the faith they follow. Religious freedom is anabsolute, fundamental human right.
Britain is committed to protecting andpromoting that right, by standing up for Christians and other minorities, athome and abroad. Our hearts go out to them, especially at this special time ofyear. So as we approach this festival I’d like to wish everyone, Christians andnon-Christians a very happy Easter.
