Tony Blair is recognized as the most influential representative of the religious community in Great Britain

According to the results of a recent survey conducted in Great Britain, Prime Minister Tony Blair was recognized as the most influential representative of the country's religious community, the Blagovest-info agency reports.

Blair was given this title for his dedication to the Anglican Church. Second and third places were taken respectively by Archbishop of Canterbury George Carey and Queen Elizabeth II. In fourth place was the wife of Prime Minister Cherie Blair, who is a Catholic. It is curious that the Prime Minister himself often attends services with her in the Catholic Church.

The selection of the most influential representatives of the religious community in England was carried out by eight experts on religious issues. “For the first time since Gladstone, we have a prime minister in our country who speaks openly about his religious beliefs,” said British religious scholars.
