Statement from the Greater Manchester Interfaith Network, 23 May 2017

24 May 2017 - 09:30 by michelle.foster

Dear All,

Our thoughts today, following the horrendous incident at the Manchester Arena last night, are with those who were caught up in the attack, especially those killed and injured and their families. Such acts of indiscriminate terror have no part in our society and we stand together with all who long for a world in which violence and terror does not have the last word.

As faith and interfaith groups in Manchester, we reaffirm our commitment to working together to increase understanding and respect between all people.
