Friday, September 22, 2006 at 10:59PM The Economist is clearly disappointed that Christianity has not yet completely disappeared in England.

The West has long been endangered by this aversion to the questions which underlie its rationality, and can only suffer great harm thereby. The courage to engage the whole breadth of reason, and not the denial of its grandeur – this is the programme with which a theology grounded in Biblical faith enters into the debates of our time.
