One of the most striking features of the U.S. is its promotion and protection of Christian - and Jewish - freedom on the national/federal level: no possibility of one claimant to being 'The (one, only, true, authoritative) Church' becoming the established state Church over all (though such things were permitted to continue on the level of individual states). Something like the ecclesiology of the Elizabethan Settlement and Richard Hooker (et al.) now applied (as it never yet was, in the UK) domestically as well as externally. And, in English - and French - Canada, if the analysis of George P. Grant is accurate, a definite, and to a considerable degree conscious, rooting and continuity in (ecclesial) polity and thought from 'before the Age of Progress'. <br /><br />In both the US and Canada, these distinguishing features have been variously, gravely undermined and occluded, but not entirely, with possibilities of preservation, restoration, and expansion still present, though not assured.<br /><br />David Llewellyn Dodds Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154359965221795553.post-33819652072737302722016-08-23T10:58:18.623-07:002016-08-23T10:58:18.623-07:00@David

Let's hope Bruce's new blog helps encourage all those who sense the vision but are uncertain how to make it come to be. <br />England I am sure does have a spiritual mission and I like the way that Bruce widens the idea of England to include all those who might respond sympathetically to the idea of England wherever they are located. I believe that if you feel the truth of this then you are part of it.<br /><br />This destiny must be linked to Christianity which is why the rumours of Christ having walked these shores strike such a powerful chord for so many. But it may be a Christianity of the Holy Spirit which has never so far been fully expressed and which includes the sense of an inner Christ as well as acknowledging the full reality of Christ as the son of God as conventionally understood. <br /><br />I think this new blog is a wonderful idea which can surely play a good part in awakening the sleeping Albion!William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.com
