Faith in One Community - A Celebration
The meeting is intended to strengthen these bonds between our richly diverse communities, by helping to better understand each other. To help develop and foster stronger relations and ties, which serve to make us more resilient as a community in times of crises. It is therefore imperative that we in Britain do not fall victim to intolerance and fear based on ignorance. Never before has it been so important that we stand together, in our common shared values such as safety, security and freedom whilst celebrating our individuality and the spectrum of diversity that makes Britain such a great place to live.
