Today in her Christmas broadcast to the Commonwealth in a thoughtful meditation on the theme of reconciliation, the Queen said: 'For me, the life of Jesus Christ, the prince of peace, whose birth we celebrate today, is an inspiration and an anchor in my life. A role model of reconciliation and forgiveness, he stretched out his hands in love, acceptance and healing.'
Wonderful. She's not forcing her faith on anyone - as Christians are sometimes accused of doing - but she is bearing personal testimony to Christ, her 'inspiration' and 'anchor' and she has pointed us to a crucial Christian truth - reconciliation - at a time when the world needs it more than ever.
