Last night I participated in the the annual Inter-Faith Reception organised by the Bishops’ Conference in Glasgow




Last night I participated in the the annual Inter-Faith Reception organised by the Bishops’ Conference in Glasgow. I introduced the evening by reflecting, after listening in Rome to people from all over the world, that what we were doing was very synodal: listening and journeying together. After a tour of St Andrew’s Cathedral our Parliamentary Officer, Anthony Horan, spoke of how different Faiths, despite obvious differences, have much in common and can work together for the good of society, especially the most vulnerable. He cited some recent examples, including in Parliament such as Assisted Suicide and poverty. We then mingled, building bonds over a simple but delicious buffet. The photo includes Marian Pallister, our committed diocesan representative on the Church’s Inter Faith Committee and Anthony Horan.
I have noticed that even in our small Highland and Island communities the number of people from other Faiths are increasing. Perhaps there is some new work for us to attend to locally?
