From The Belfast Telegraph-One of the reasons why I admire the Queen is her openness about sharing her Christian faith, especially in the United Kingdom where many establishment figures are either aloof from religion or too embarrassed to associate themselves with Christianity.
In her Christmas Day message, Elizabeth showed that she is a devout Anglican, and in her broadcast she spoke about the role of Jesus Christ "as an inspiration and an anchor in my life".
There are not many heads of state, apart from the Pope, who would speak out so clearly and it was no surprise that, in a recent survey about moral leadership in Britain, the Queen topped the poll ahead of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and well ahead of Prime Minister David Cameron.
