Blair courts controversial US pastor Rick Warren in bid to unite faiths.....

Tony Blair is preparing to launch a "faith offensive" across the United States over the next year, after building up relationships with a network of influential religious leaders and faith organisations.

With Afghanistan and Iraq casting a shadow over his popularity at home in Britain, Blair's focus has increasingly shifted across the Atlantic, to where the nexus of faith and power is immutable and he is feted like a rock star.

According to the annual accounts of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, a UK-based charity that promotes cohesion between the major faiths, the foundation is to develop a US arm that will pursue a host of faith-based projects.

All due respect to Tony Blair, sincerely, but I think he should be taking his ‘’faith based tour’’ or whatever it’s called across the length and breadth of his own country. Seems they’ve got quite a Muzzie population in the UK that’s pretty much on track to taking over the whole country. Or maybe Tony knows that and he’s getting out while he can.

Bingo. He's written his country off. I have no illusions that he is anything but a socialist but its refreshing to see one who is a committed Christian who I can respect and agree with on issues. I'm glad he's here.

I don't trust him at all. Seems like just a month or two after he supposedly became a Catholic, he started "advising" the Catholic Church to revise its beliefs about divorce, contraception, homosexuality, etc. --- all the usual disputed questions, as agitated by the usual suspects.

This is not the attitude of a convert. This is the attitude of a corrupt community organizer who uses a church as an organizing tool.

I've seen enough of that crap to last several lifetimes.

“refreshing to see one who is a committed Christian “

He’s no Christian.

Read up on what sort of laws he enacted right before he left office - specifically the ones that suppress Christians in order to promote broader acceptance of homosexuality.

he is feted like a rock star.

In his mind.

It's hard to imagine anyone I'd like less to go see than a former British Prime Minister from the Labour Party.
