Quote of the Day: Archbishop of Canterbury

Archbishop of Canterbury delivering his sermon at the funeral

Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury gave a sermon at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral with some words that should not be forgotten.

He talked about eternal life after death, which is the central message of traditional Christian funerals.

"The pattern for many leaders is to be exalted in life and forgotten after death. The pattern for all who serve God -- famous or obscure, respected or ignored -- is that death is the door to glory."

Wonder what atheist leaders like Xi Jinping thing of that?

In particular Welby said: "People of loving service are rare in any walk of life. Leaders of loving service are still rarer. But in all cases those who serve will be loved and remembered when those who cling to power and privileges are long forgotten."

Who is he referring to there?
