Prime Minister David Cameron told Christian leaders this week that he wants their biblical values to guide the nation, despite his strong support for same-sex ‘marriage’.

At an Easter reception in Downing Street on 3 April, the Prime Minister affirmed his belief that the nation needed Christian values, claiming that:

“The greatest need we have in our country is to have strong values and to teach our children and to bring people up with strong values. The values of the Bible, the values of Christianity are the values that we need – values of compassion, of respect, of responsibility, of tolerance.”

He also spoke about the encroachment of secularism, adding:

“I think there is something of a Christian fight-back going on in Britain and I think that’s a thoroughly good thing. The fact that we’ve had that argument and won that argument over Biddeford Council and the fact that if councils want to say prayers before council meetings they should. We do in the House of Commons, why on earth shouldn’t local councils do that as well?"

In a separately released Easter message, Mr Cameron said that: “The New Testament tells us so much about the character of Jesus; a man of incomparable compassion, generosity, grace, humility and love.”
