David Cameron’s “big society” speech, what has this to do with religion or the Church?

I seem to be falling over opinion pieces related to David Cameron’s “big society” speech, which he gave on Monday.

I’ve read many articles on this topic, including some with references to the Church, religion, Christian Volunteers and even right-wing Christian positions, however, I’ve avoided commenting, as I felt generally quite puzzled and apathetic by it all.

Anyway, today Bishop Nick Baines has blogged on this topic and I was rather pleased to discover that I’m not alone in being somewhat puzzled about David Cameron’s utopian ‘Big Society’.

Do hop over and read his blog, as I found it encouraging, insightful and written in his usual lucid style:
