Religious Diversity
During the past few weeks a number of members of St Margaret’s, Holy
Cross and St James have attended sessions on the topic “Love your
Muslim neighbour as yourself”.
Led ably and openly by Margaret Middleton, the study has not only led
to a greater understanding of our Muslim neighbours but engendered a
lot of thought on
Acceptance of other religions as well as general acceptance of
Christianity’s intolerance (on many occasions) over the centuries and in
modern times. The Crusades are an example and we hoped there was
still not a youth group called The Crusaders!
I found on my travels ,this wall hanging with a quote from the 14 th Dalai
Lama and took it along to the study. We all felt that it epitomised in
many ways what we had been discussing.
Margaret thought it would be good to share with the wider congregation.
We thank Margaret for her insightfulness in leading the group.
Shalom
