Christian Nationalism

Dear Editor,

Thank you en for alerting us to the dangers of ‘Christian Nationalism’. [Jim Sayers: en October 2024]

The atrocities of the ‘Troubles’ in Northern Ireland had begun when Herbert Carson spoke to our Christian Union meeting in Belfast on the subject of ‘The Christian and the State’. It was a memorable exposition of Scripture showing us the Biblical constraints the State should accept and the personal challenge to the believer’s conscience when it interferes with our faith. One particular illustration was from the US when a local example might have proved too unpalatable for some!
