I am currently translating this paper from Welsh into English and French.
This paper is the printed version of the lecture which I gave back in September 2013 on this topic (see 'Talks' section here).

Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations, Jan 1, 2010
Reinhold Niebuhr’s support for the foundation of the state of Israel is argued to be an expressio... more Reinhold Niebuhr’s support for the foundation of the state of Israel is argued to be an expression of his Christian realism, and as such is based on his ethics but not his theology. The first section assesses Niebuhr’s support for Jewish return to the Land of Israel in relation to modern protestant and Jewish support for relocation of the Promised Land back from America to British Mandate Palestine. The second section demonstrates that Niebuhr’s support for Zionism grew out of his threefold moral, political and theological realism. This meant taking into account Israel’s relation to the United States, and increasingly evidenced a national supersessionist outlook. The third section argues that this shift was undertaken via the role of the temporarily messianic nation, whereby the USA replaced Israel as a nation with a mission. In the fourth section, it is argued that the natural theology that underlies Niebuhr's ethics constitutes a 'Hebraic' turn which is ironic given that he does not ground his Zionism in the covenant with Abraham. The last section argues that Niebuhr’s support for Israel’s foundation needs to be understood within his reconstruction of natural law, along with his critique of the fusion of nationalism and religion in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As Niebuhr’s approach to Israel was based on ethics not dogmatic theology and exegesis, and as it became part of a notion of America as messianic, it failed to be passed on adequately to the mainline protestant churches.

Three interrelated themes are explored. The first is the connection between a theologian's attitude to recognizing Israel and their approach to the providential place of nations in the divine economy. Following from this, the argument is made that theologians' handling of both modern and ancient Israel are mirrored profoundly in the question of recognition and ethical treatment of the nations to which they belong, along with neighboring nations. The third theme is how social theory, represented by certain key figures, has handled the same issues. Four major theologians are discussed: Reinhold Niebuhr, Rowan Williams, John Milbank, and Karl Barth. Alongside them are placed social theorists and scholars of religion and nationalism, including Mark Juergensmeyer, Philip Jenkins, Anthony Smith, and Adrian Hastings. In the process, debates over the relationship between theology and social theory are reconfigured in concrete terms around the challenge of recognition of the State of Israel as well as stateless nations.

Defining and recognizing nationhood as distinct from the state is an important though underappreciated task in Barth's theology. It flows out of his deep concern for the capacity of nationalist dogma - that every nation must have its own state - to promote warfare. The problem motivated him to make his famous break with German liberal protestant theology.
In this book, Carys Moseley traces how Barth reconceived nationhood in the light of a lifelong interest in the exegesis and preaching of the Pentecost narrative in Acts 2. She shows how his responsibilities as a pastor of the Swiss Reformed Church required preaching on this text as part of the church calendar, and thus how his defence of the inclusion of the 'filioque' clause in the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed stemmed from his ministry, homiletics and implicit missiology.
The concern to deny that nations exist primordially in creation was a crucial reason for Barth's dissent from his contemporaries over the orders of creation, and his polemic against 'natural theology' was largely by rejection of the German liberal idea that the rise and fall of nations is part of the cycle of nature, supposedly reflecting divine action. Against this conceit, Barth advanced his famous doctrine of the election of Israel as part of the election of the community of the people of God. This provides the way into understanding the division of the world into nations, and the divine recognition of all nations as communities wherein people are meant to seek God.

This seminar will look at the evidence about Wales and Welsh people regarding the influence or otherwise of belief in God on social attitudes and behavior. I shall discuss some key questions arising from the data, such as: is there a relationship between voting and belief in God? Is there a relationship between considering oneself to be Welsh and nominally Christian, and Between self-ascribed British identity and secularism? Is the vote for the far right a religious vote or not?

Briefly tabulated are those questions journalists did and did not ask about the CES, which topics in the CES were covered or not and why. On the philosophical level several fundamental problems arise. Is the UK government attempting to define ‘true religion’, and should it? Representative responses from religious bodies are assessed critically. Going beyond conventional wisdom about the roots of the CES in the New Labour government’s Prevent Strategy, the academic origins of the concept of ‘extremism’, religious or not, in the social sciences, is shown here, and then its appearance in policy and legislation. The question is asked whether the CES is a new Clarendon Code for England and Wales, or whether it represents a new incarnation of an Enlightenment approach to relations between religion and the state. In conclusion the level of religious literacy in the British media on this subject is assessed, and the implications thereof for public understanding of religion/s, religious freedom and freedom of speech.

In short, even after accepting secularisation and major cultural changes, the population as a whole is slightly more likely to hold traditional beliefs associated with Christianity. At the same time there are slightly more people who indicate that they have ‘No Religion’.
Topics: voting at recent UK General Elections; ‘British values’ (freedom of religion, etc.); Sex-selective abortion debate; Same-sex marriage debate (tied to freedom of religion); UKIP vote in Wales may be from ‘No Religion’ people, not ‘Christians’.
