In Faith and Life in Britain six eminent public figures approach some of the key issues concerning faith in the public domain and its contribution to
the life of our society today. First heard during ‘The Cardinal's Lectures’, delivered at Westminster Cathedral in Spring 2008, the essays in this book
provide an opportunity to recognise that while living in a challenging and changing world, believers individually and collectively are indispensable to
a healthy society.
The topics addressed are:
‘Faith and globalisation’ – Tony Blair
‘Faith and the media’ – Mark Thompson
‘The spiritual and the religious: is the territory changing?’ – Dr Rowan Williams
‘Practical politics, principled faith’ – William Hague MP
‘Faith, morality, giving time to others’ – Rabbi Julia Neuberger
‘Faith in Britain: a personal perspective’ – Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor
