England King Charles: Religious tolerance and understanding necessary at the current time
RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – King Charles has said there is a vital need for mutual understanding among religions in times of international turmoil and “heartbreaking loss of life”.
He was speaking in a “state of the nation” speech at Mansion House in the City of London.
He said: “One of my first acts as sovereign, a little over a year ago, was to open the doors of Buckingham Palace to the leaders of the major faiths represented across these islands; to welcome them, with respect and indeed love, and to re-dedicate my life to protecting the space for faith itself within our shores”.
He said Britain could draw upon deep wells of civility and tolerance, politeness and respect.
