ВЕЛИКОБРИТАНІЯ

Об'єднане Королівство Великобританії й Північної Ірландії - це країна з централізованою владою, причому найбільша частина країни - Англія - була такою вже майже протягом 1000 років, довше, ніж будь-яка інша країна Європи. Хоча Уельс був уже в 16 столітті повністю підпорядкований англійському урядові й законам, але політично Британія стала централізованою країною тільки в 1707 році, коли об'єдналися давні королівства Шотландії та Англії. Ірландія, яка вже в 16 столітті була повністю підкорена Англією, офіційно стала частиною Великобританії в 1801 році, утративши свій парламент, як це було за століття до цього із Шотландією. Ірландія отримала незалежність у 1921 р., але шість графств на півночі залишилися частиною Об'єднаного Королівства. Проте Північна Ірландія не є частиною Британії, хоча поняття «Великобританія» часто помилково використовується замість терміну «Об'єднане Королівство».

Розповсюджена точка зору, що британці являють собою єдину націю з сильним почуттям спільноти, але це припущення потребує значних уточнень. Навіть через 300 років існування Об'єднаного Королівства поняття «британці» і «Британія», що використовуються з офіційною метою, можуть звучати дуже штучно. Багато людей називають Британію «Англією», а британців «англійцями». Проте ніщо так не дратує шотландців та ірландців, як те, що їх називають англійцями. Вони мають свої національні особливості, як-то традиції, мову, одяг тощо.

RELIGION IN BRITAIN

& 1. Read the following text, translate it into Ukrainian. Make sure you study the language of the text to be competent in further exercises and discussions.

Every person in Britain is given the right to religious freedom. Britons are predominantly Christians. Anglican Church (the Church of England) is legally recognized as the official church of the State. In 1534 Henry VIII broke from the Church of Rome and declared himself Head of the Church of England. Church in Britain does not receive money from the state, but it has many properties and a large number of stocks and shares. Priests have the right to be married, and after 1987 women were allowed to become priests.

The Presbyterian Church is the established Church in Scotland. It is separated from the Anglican Church, and it has its own organizations and appoints its own ministers.

There is no officially established church in Wales.

There are two most widespread Christian Churches in Wales, they are Methodist and Baptist. The Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster is the leader of the Catholic Church in Britain. In general, married men are not allowed to be Catholic priests.

The Jewish community in Britain is considered to be the second largest group of Jews in Europe. More than half of them live in London; Jews still have to marry Jews, for both racial and religious reasons.

British community is one of the largest communities in Western Europe.

Nowadays fewer and fewer people in Britain go regularly to the traditional Protestant and Catholic Churches. But still many people are interested in religion. There are many Christian organizations that are growing fast. Every year appear new cults, which are not based on Christianity or other major religion.

Today the old narrow intolerance of the churches is disappearing. Many established churches are moving closer together, they bring nearer the movement toward universal Christian unity.
