Its Good Friday a pivotal day in the Christian Calendar and in particular I got a Blog from ITN on our illustrious Mr Tony
Blair former Prime Minister the the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland. The notion of "
Confession" looms large in connection with the Iraq War and Tony Blair the "then" PM led the British Troops in 2003 - into Iraq and Afghanistan to stand along with the US Troops in keeping with former George Bush US President. It led to the toppling and subsequent hanging of Saddam Hussein. Mr. Blair reflects on the agony of that decision personally and for Great Britain.
Again on a personal note Mr Blair converted in 2007 to the Roman Catholic Church .. he was an Anglican I gather and had an audience with Pope Benedict XVl in Rome! Also he is seen at a Prayer Breakfast with the new man in the White House Barack Obama recently elected President of America.
At a talk at Yale University Blair mentioned the need for understanding in world faith to include Islam and other major faiths .... I must admit I taught World Faiths at Winchester . and I am still involved in many projects in this connection .. at home and abroad! nice work!
