LONDON -- The Church of Scientology London held a special Interfaith Sunday Service January 17 in honor of U.K. Inter Faith Week 2016, to a packed audience of interfaith guests, Church parishioners and guests.

The week, which is celebrated this year from January 13 - 20, was created in 2009 by John Denham, then Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government for the U.K., to "bring people of faith and no faith together" as "a starting point for building consensus for a stronger, fairer society."

Guest speakers included Reverend Ena from Unity organisation, Reverend Halden Bennett from Streatham Church of God 7th Day, Sister Viola X from Nation of Islam European Head Quarters, Brixton, and Sheikh Rahman from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Morden, England.

In his presentation, Sheikh Rahman pointed out that programs such as this one "help promote interfaith accord and harmonious relations and at the same time encourage understanding between different faiths and communities, thereby removing some pre-conceived fears and apprehensions."
