An inter-faith reconciliation walk will take place this Saturday 11 June 2011 in what is being called by the organisers the ‘holy city’ of Southall, West London. The 26th Annual Multi-Faith Pilgrimage for Peace is being sponsored by Westminster Interfaith, an agency of the Catholic Diocese of Westminster, which works in cooperation with a range of other religious and civic bodies. Many religions will be represented in the pilgrimage, which will pass by or enter different places of worship in Southall, including Christian churches, Islamic mosques, Buddhist and Hindu temples, and Sikh gurdwaras. This year's pilgrimage commemorates the first such event, which was organised by Brother Daniel Faivre, a committed inter-faith worker, in 1986. Jon Dal Din, director of Westminster Interfaith comments: ‘The aim of Westminster Interfaith is to increase understanding, co-operation and respect between Christians and people of different faiths, and in particular to promote greater awareness through dialogue, prayer and action.

Pray: that people of many faiths will support the pilgrimage in large numbers promoting understanding, co-operation and respect for one another. (Ps.84:5)
