Smiles round the cake A well attended meeting celebrated 14 years of joint working for the community at Hounslow Civic Centre this week. A specially made cake was cut to mark the occasion.

Hounslow Friends of Faith held the meeting, one of two events being held for Inter Faith Week, to look at what members of faith communities can do for peace both globally and locally.

Millius Palawiya, Director of the Fellowship of Reconciliation gave a stimulating talk. He encouraged participants to be truthful to their own scriptures and to speak truth to power. The aims of modern war are now unobtainable. We should highlight alternatives to armed intervention to our members of parliament.  People should be willing to create friendships with those of other faiths to avoid conflicts and misunderstanding.

Achievements so far of Hounslow Friends of Faith were reviewed.  Activities include service projects, consultation, liaison and bridge building between communities and education about faiths.  Together these are a valuable contribution to society.
