Amazing evening at the Houses of Parliament, London, for our event on, Interfaith Leadership in Divided Times, bringing together young voices, religious leaders, MP's, to explore what leadership looks like amid national & global tensions.
More to come.

@Light_Fndn, together with @faithbelieforum held an event in the Houses of Parliament entitled: Interfaith Leadership in Divided Times.
In addition to Members of Parliament, and leading practitioners, there were many young future leaders in attendance asking us some challenging questions. It was an honour to be on the panel and able to share my experiences with them.
Together with my co-panellists Rev Andrew Thompson and Rabbi Michael Hilton, we offered some ingredients for successful relations, especially in turbulent political times:
- Be firm and secure in your faith, that way you have something to offer to others.
- Be brave and courageous, bridges are walked over in times of peace and destroyed first in times of conflict.
- Have the difficult religious political discussions, but only when there is a trust based relationship beforehand.
- Aspire to make mercy, compassion, empathy and clemency qualities which you base your words and actions on.
Many thanks to Gurinder Josan MP for hosting us and facilitating this inspiring and light-filled event.
