Ian Goes to the London Centre Mosque



I can with all honesty say that I have experienced one of the most moving moments in my life today, when I joined Imams from London's central mosque, Rabbis from a number of synagogues, Roman Catholic & Anglican Priests, Budhist Priests and others of other faiths for Westminster's Fath Exchange. As part of the afternoon, we joined other muslims for there mid-day prayers. It was profounly moving to pray with other Abrahamic faiths to celebrate Adoni, Alla, God. I felt very strongly that God was present. Moved, but sadened that the strife between our faiths continues to cause such strife throughout the world. So I felt little old me, with my emerging/fresh expressions hat on, was playing my part. I learnt a lot from the incredible generosity and hospitality of the mosque, that would put many a church I have experienced to shame.

One Imam I got to know was very interested in what we were doing ... it may be an idea for a Moot trip back to the mosque.....

The experience has given me a lot of hope.
