Bijan Omrani – God is an Englishman – Christianity and the Creation of England

Christianity in England is in decline and Bijan Omrani argues that this is the most momentous change to occur in English history. He shows how a religion that has been part of our story for over 1700 years was instrumental in the creation and development of the nation. He demonstrates its profound cultural impact, from architecture and literature to our very landscape and the structure of our everyday life and language. Its enormous influence, he contends, shouldn’t be lightly abandoned.

in conversation with James Crowden
