Peter Oborne on being Anglican, the lack of integrity in politics and what Christians get wrong about Islam
Playback speed
The British journalist and author of The Fate of Abraham: Why the West is Wrong about Islam talks to Premier Christianity's Megan Cornwell about his appreciation for traditional Anglican Christianity. For Peter Oborne, the story of The Good Samaritan is central to his understanding of both Christ's mission, and the duty of Christians today. Addressing what he sees as the decline of integrity in British politics, Oborne associates this trend with the diminishing role of Christianity - and religion generally - in public life. He believes that society needs a spiritual refreshment. Oborne also talks about his well publicised resignation from The Daily Telegraph newspaper and addresses the impact of the Iraq War on his perspective as a journalist.
