CHRISTIAN MILLENNIUM CELEBRATION

Early day motion 279, tabled 22 July 1997 by Ann Winterton (Conservative). Signed by 7 members.

That this House acknowledges the enormous debt owed by the World to Christ and Christianity throughout the last 2,000 years; accepts that much of the known world from schools, hospitals, universities, literature and music to churches and many instruments of state, would be unrecognisable without His influence, inspiration and wisdom; believes that due reverence and acknowledgement should be given to Christ and His teachings in the midst of the celebrations for His 2,000th anniversary; and invites Her Majesty's Government to provide opportunities for the people of his Christian nation prayerfully to give thanks and praise and to contemplate with humility the scale of the challenges which lie ahead in creating a genuine and living Christian World.

Signatures by party: UUP 3, Conservative 2, Labour/Co-operative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
