Thank you to Islington Mayor for hosting IFF Trustees yesterday evening at Islington Town Hall, a good meeting!

People from across Islington came together in unity tonight for a silent peace vigil at Islington Green. The vigil was in support of all members of the community in Islington who have been affected by the crisis in the Middle East.

People from different backgrounds and faiths said prayers and lit candles as symbols of peace, before standing in silence together. The vigil was jointly organised by Islington Faiths Forum, Islington Hate Crime Forum and Islington Council

Mendy Korer Islington Police No place for hate - a statement in response to attack on Islington menorah lights Kaya Comer-Schwartz, Leader of Islington Council: “We are utterly appalled at the attack on the menorah lights at Islington Green today." Full statement: islington.media/news/no-place-…

I was proud to speak at tonight’s menorah lighting at Islington Green to mark the last night of Hanukkah. The vandalism of the menorah lights this morning was a disgraceful hate crime and isn’t welcome in Islington. I’m proud that our community showed that this evening

Our sympathy to all Catholics on the death of Pope Francis. He was a man whose work for peace, humility and concern for the poor and the environment made him an influential presence across denominations and faiths. He leaves a powerful legacy for all. May his soul rest in peace.

Along with all lay people and faith leaders of good will, we pray for a rapid end to the wars and famines around the world and we especially pray for an end to the war on Gaza.

Our hearts & prayers are with all those impacted by the tragic attack at Heaton Park Synagogue. Such acts of hatred and violence are utterly unacceptable & are in direct opposition to everything we believe in. We stand together in calling for unity, peace & mutual understanding.
