Paul Parker, recording clerk of Britain Yearly Meeting, recently took part in an interfaith event at the Islamic Cultural Centre at Regents Park Mosque in central London.

Some twenty representatives of faith groups, including Jewish, Christian and Muslim leaders, attended the event on 16 January. Organisers described it as ‘an act of solidarity’ in the wake of the killings in Paris earlier this month.
