Responding to attacks in Pakistan in which seven Pakistani Christians were killed, the Bishop of London, The Rt Revd and Rt Hon. Richard Chartres, and the Grand Mufti of Egypt, His Excellency Dr Ali Gomaa, have called on people to join in prayer for those affected by the events.
Speaking as joint-chairs of the C-1 World Dialogue, they urged pastors and imams in every mosque and church to spread the message of harmony and peace and welcomed the condemnation of the attacks by religious leaders in Pakistan.
In a statement issued by the two religious leaders they declared: "The perpetrators of this attack have committed a crime not only against Christians but against Pakistan and beyond even that, against the honour and dignity of Islam."
