This year's pilgrimage was a Peace walk to commemorate the first pilgrimage organised by Brother Daniel Faivre in 1986.
Jon Dal Din, Director of Westminster Interfaith explains: “The aim of Westminster Interfaith is to increase understanding, co-operation and respect between Christians and people of different faiths, and in particular to promote greater awareness through dialogue, prayer and action, according to the teaching of the Second Vatican Council.”
“I am grateful to all the people who came on the pilgrimage and prayed with us especially for all those, in this country and throughout the world, who are suffering on account of their race or religious beliefs.”
