Tony Blair's new Faith Foundation
May 30, 2008
Tony Blair is about to launch his new Faith Foundation. In an interview with the Guardian, he says that the foundation will bring together six faiths – Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism, and that the new foundation would encourage practical work by religious groups to help tackle poverty and disease.
Although he is a committed Christian, Blair distanced himself from religion for fear of being dismissed as a nutter, although he famously stated as he decided to join the US in the Iraq war that “If you believe in God, [judgment] is made by God as well.”
No doubt the new foundation is part of his attempt to right past wrongs.
