Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, the President of the Pontifical Council
for Interreligious Dialogue, is to celebrate an interfaith prayer event
in Westminster Cathedral Hall next month.The Church said in a statement that representatives from different religions would offer a prayer for peace in their own tradition in each other's presence, "bearing witness to their deep wish for peace".
The event will form part of a week-long programme of events, which the Church hopes would "affirm and strengthen the good interreligious relations in this country".
The cardinal will visit the Sikh Guru Nanak Nishkam Sevak Jatha Gurdwara in Birmingham, the Jain Derasar at the Oshwal Centre near Potters Bar in north London, and the Hindu Baps Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden, northwest London.
The Church said the meetings would include the opportunity for dialogue on ways in which the different faith groups could work together for the common good.
