Letter: New Liberal Blair?

Sir: I share with Paul Moore (Letters, 1 October) a sense of unease about the photograph of Tony Blair in a Brighton church, but for a different reason.

The nature of the picture would suggest that it was taken with the permission, if not encouragement, of those concerned. It reinforces my distaste for the way in which Mr Blair seems to use his religion to claim the moral high ground. Whilst he is free to believe whatever he likes, I do wish Mr Blair would keep his Christianity to himself, and get on with the job of being a politician; if I want to hear a sermon, I will go to church.
