Interfaith walk takes to streets of Oxford
An interfaith group walked the streets of Oxford on Thursday night in a show of solidarity among religions. The Oxford Council of Faiths group started at the Synagogue in Richmond Road at 6pm before heading to St Giles Church, to Radcliffe Square for reflections before ending in Bath Street Mosque in St Clements. Members from the Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities all joined the dozens of people on the walk. Moznu Miah, chairman of Oxford Mosque Society, Bath Street Mosque, said he welcomed everybody to the 'sacred space' on behalf of Muslims. He said: 'In these challenging times, marked by division, hate, and injustice, our collective presence here today is a powerful testament to our shared commitment to love, peace, respect and harmony. 'I am proud to stand alongside you, united in our quest for a more compassionate and inclusive world. 'This unique event, organized by the Oxford Council of Faiths, demonstrates that our diversity is a strength, and that together, we can build bridges of understanding and friendship. 'My heartfelt congratulations to the Oxford Council of Faiths, and all the volunteers, for their tireless efforts in organizing this wonderful event.' He added: "Let us reaffirm our resolve to work together, to promote peace, respect, friendship and love. "May our collective efforts be a beacon of hope for our communities, our city, and the world at large."
