Queen Elizabeth II on her Christian belief and ethic (excerpt from Xmas message 2016)

 "Jesus Christ lived obscurely for most of his life

and never traveled far.

He was maligned and rejected by many,

though he had done no wrong.

AND yet, billions of people now follow his teaching

and find in him the guiding light for their lives.

I am one of them because Christ's example helps me see

the value of doing small things with great love"
