easter is the most important date in thechristian calendar,
and an incredibly special timefor people across britainand
around the world. last month i was in jerusalem and bethlehemand
i got tosee for myself the places where jesus was born and died.
it was anextraordinaryexperience to be in those places where
so much history began.
today, XX 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
theuk,every day, there are countless acts of kindness carried
out by those whobelieve in andfollow christ. the heart of
christianity is to “love thyneighbor〞 and millions do really
live thatout. i think of the alpha coursesrun in our prisons,
which work with offenders to give them anew life insideand
outside prison, or the soup kitchens and homeless shelters run
bychurches.and we saw that same spirit during the terrible
storms that struck britainearlier thisyear. from somerset to
surrey, from oxford to devon, churchesbecame refuges,
offeringshelter and food, congregations raised funds
andrallied together, parish priests even canoedthrough their
2 / 9 villages to rescueresidents. they proved, yet again, that
people’s faith motivatesthem to dogood deeds.
that is something this government supportsand celebrates,
and it’s why we haveannounced more funding for the
nearneighbours programme bringing together even morefaiths in
even more cities todo social action. and as we celebrate easter,
let’s also think ofthose who areunable to do so, the christians
around the world who are ostracised, abused
–evenmurdered – simply for the faith they follow.
religious freedom is anabsolute, fundamentalhuman right.
britain is committed to protecting andpromoting that right,
by standing up for christiansand other minorities, athome and
abroad. our hearts go out to them, especially at this
specialtime ofyear. so as we approach this festival i’d like
to wish everyone, christians andnon-christians a very happy
easter.
英国首相卡梅伦伊斯兰教斋月英语演讲稿
i want to send my very best wishes to everyone observing
the holy month of ramadan.
this is an incredibly special time of year for muslims at
home and abroad a time for charity, forcontemplation and
3 / 9 community.
first, charity. this is one of the things that islam is all
about. here in britain, muslims are ourbiggest donors –
they give more to charity than any other faith group. we see
this spirit ofgiving all year round from the mosques running
sports clubs for local children to the muslimgroups selling
poppies for remembrance day, to those people from around the
country who puttheir wellies on, rolled their sleeves up, and
went to help the families hit hardest by thiswinter's
storms.
ramadan is a time when that spirit comes to the fore and
i am so proud when i hear, everyyear, about the millions of
pounds raised for good causes for those less fortunate than us
herein britain, and those who are suffering in wars and in
famines overseas.
second, ramadan is a time for contemplation to fast, and
to pray, and to think deeply aboutothers.
this ramadan, i hope that we can reflect upon a key aspect
of our shared history, the braveryof those who fought and died
for our freedoms nearly 100 years ago. just days after eid, we
willbe marking 100 years since the first world war. more than
4 / 9 a million men and boys from indiafought with our troops during
that conflict and many thousands of them were muslims.
theytravelled across the world to fight to defend our freedom,
guided and sustained by theirbravery, comradeship, and, above
all, by their faith. their selflessness and their couragehelped
to secure the liberties we all enjoy today, so this ramadan
– and this centenary – wewill remember them and
reflect upon their sacrifice.
third, ramadan is a time for community. and there is nothing
that exemplifies this more thanthose nightly afters, when the
fast is broken, the dates are opened, and all that great food
isserved.
last year i was delighted to see how many community iftars
were taking place across thecountry, in mosques and in
community centres, in parks and even in tents. again this
yeargovernment is supporting the big iftar programme, with
hundreds more communities, fromleeds to luton, woking to
manchester, throwing open their doors, so that people of all
faithsand none can break bread and get to know their neighbours.
so wherever you are this holy month, let me wish you, once
again, ramadan mubarak.
