"I realised that God has placed Christians everywhere, to support each other, to support the needy in those areas, and that is the thing that I find is a great plus"
About this Quote
Richard’s repetition of “to support” does the emotional heavy lifting. It’s functional, not mystical: faith shows up as mutual aid, not doctrinal flexing. That choice matters in Britain’s postwar-to-post-Christian drift, where overt evangelizing often reads as abrasive. He softens the edge by emphasizing the “needy” and the local “areas,” grounding belief in neighborhood-scale service rather than culture-war ambition. The line implies a counter-story to the usual caricature of Christians as a voting bloc: here they’re a distributed support system.
Then there’s the modest shrug of “I find…a great plus.” It’s almost disarmingly un-grand, a performer’s instinct to keep it relatable. The subtext: religion doesn’t need to win arguments to justify itself; it only needs to keep showing up for people.
