1 / 9 英国演讲稿四篇

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.
