James Cook was a God-fearing Englishman who circumnavigated the globe, literally putting Australia, New Zealand and many other Pacific destinations on the map. Not many people realise the impact the Bible and Christian values had not just on James Cook but also on our society. Australia and New Zealand are the great nations they are today because of our Christian heritage. And if we’re wise, we will value and protect our Christian heritage so that future generations can enjoy the family values, benefits, prosperity and freedoms that Christianity brings.
