Interfaith week marked in England

RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – The King marked interfaith week by visiting Lambeth Palace Library for a reception with 30 faith leaders from across the UK.

 The library has objects from many world faiths including Qurans, a Hebrew dictionary, historic religious scrolls dating back to the 13th and 16th Centuries, and letters of friendship between global faith leaders.

The Archbishop of Canterbury said: “These are challenging times for faith communities in the UK, particularly with the ongoing war in the Middle East.

Today’s visit by The King was a wonderful encouragement to remain united in partnership and friendship – as many people of faith are doing across the country”.
