Barnt Green Quakers opened their Meeting house last month for an interfaith event to ease tensions after riots across the UK.

Around fifty walkers – including Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Jewish people, Quakers and humanists – made their way from the Meeting house to Bilberry Hill for the annual interfaith walk organised by the group Footsteps.
