Talking of this first-of-its-kind event, the Diocesan Inter Faith Advisers Revd David Kesterton (Luton) and Revd Tony Rindl (Watford) said, “It will be a good opportunity to share inspiration from different faith perspectives and to welcome, meet and network with friends & invited guests from different faiths, cultures, and ethnicities from across the Beds, Herts & parts of London Borough covered by St Albans Diocese.”
“It is wonderful that in addition to input from different faiths, musicians from St. Albans Abbey have offered to perform instrumental music to welcome guests and schoolchildren are also giving a presentation. For those who are interested, a brief guided tour of the St. Alban shrine is also being planned.”
“We are grateful to The Venerable Jo Kelly-Moore, Dean of St Albans Abbey for her welcome and support. We are looking forward to an inspirational evening of fellowship and togetherness.”
The Diocese of St Albans is a diverse diocese. It includes a significant number of parishes where other faith communities comprise more than ten percent of the population. Broadly speaking, there are large Jewish communities in south Hertfordshire and Barnet, and large Muslim, Hindu and Sikh communities along the diocesan spine of Watford, Hitchin, St Albans, Luton and Bedford.
The Bishop of Bedford Right Revd Richard Atkinson said, “As a diocese, we are committed to engaging with and partnering with members of other faith communities for pursuing the common good. Faith motivates and inspires our social action. How much more could we accomplish if we all worked together to address issues like racism, poverty, and climate change? This year’s Inter Faith Week Event focuses exactly on that.”
