All Saints hosts goodwill visit from Erin Islamic Cutural Centre
September 29th. All Saints welcomed new neighbours in Erin, the Imam and members of the Islamic Cultural Centre. In the interests of peaceful coexistence between faiths, we learned something about our respective religions, common ground and differences. Over coffee and cake, the Imam answered questions, some very tough, with good humour and respect. A very worthwhile experience.
