Immigration giving new life to British Christianity, says cardinal

July 09, 2015

Christian immigrants to Great Britain are giving new life to Christianity on the island, Cardinal Vincent Nichols of Westminster said.

“I think what is happening is that the energy of Christians in particular coming to a wearied, Western secularized culture is giving it new hope and, certainly in the life of the Christian faith, new resilience and enthusiasm,” the prelate said, according to The Telegraph.

“And I think it rubs off on us, it rubs off on us weary Westerners and we should take great heart from the fact that we are discovering again, under that impetus, some of our own wellsprings of faith,” he added.
