Prince Charles launched a new venue in London Thursday to be used as a meeting place for members of different religions to explore common challenges and undertake scriptural exploration with a view to fostering peace and reconciliation.
The goat-hair Bedouin tent from Saudi Arabia has been set up in the grounds of the former St Ethelburga’s Church, which was rebuilt after an IRA bomb destroyed most of the building in 1993.
Prince Charles returned to unveil the new venue this week following his inauguration of the rebuilt church as a centre for peace and reconciliation in 2002.
He told the various faith representatives gathered for the launch that there was a need for understanding as different religions attempt to “explain the nature of mystery,” reports AFP.
