Can Commonwealth values be grounded in religion? Resources from the Christian tradition
Although religion has played a significant historical role in forming the political culture of most Commonwealth members, the Commonwealth has mostly refrained from engaging with religious thought and practice. This article proposes that the core values embodied in the Commonwealth Charter could offer a promising focus for a new engagement between the Commonwealth and the diverse religious traditions represented among its members. It offers a case study of modern Christian political thought to show how one religious tradition might go about constructing a foundation for a constitutional democracy consonant with Christian values, identifying five central themes in Christian political thought that speak to Charter values. It calls for Christian individuals and denominational bodies to signal strong support for the Charter and together with other religious and secular traditions to engage in exploration, critique and dialogue.

期刊介绍:
Founded in 1910, The Round Table, Britain"s oldest international affairs journal, provides analysis and commentary on all aspects of international affairs. The journal is the major source for coverage of policy issues concerning the contemporary Commonwealth and its role in international affairs, with occasional articles on themes of historical interest. The Round Table has for many years been a repository of informed scholarship, opinion, and judgement regarding both international relations in general, and the Commonwealth in particular, with authorship and readership drawn from the worlds of government, business, finance and academe.
