A Bridge Can Only Unite if it is Crossed

22 July 2008

The Clifton Diocese Interfaith Officer Father Robert King reports on Sunday's (20 July) unique walk – where three local faith leaders came together to focus on the environment.

The walk provided a wonderful opportunity to cross a metaphorical bridge by enabling an honest discussion on the view point of Catholicism, Judaism and Islam on the environment. Care for creation provides a wonderful catalyst for interreligious dialogue. When we dare to talk in a way that is honest, addressing pertinent questions with respect, we dispel myths and open ourselves to a deeper appreciation of each other.

Our picture features Bishop Declan Lang, Farooq Siddique, Community Development Worker at the Bristol Muslim Cultural Society, and Rabbi Natan Levy as well as those people who came together as part of this unique event.
