It was great to join 60-70 other people, representing a broad spectrum of faiths, at the Medway Walk for Peace last Saturday (July 2nd)
Our walk began at the war memorial on the Great Lines and began with a warm welcome and messages of peace from many different faith representatives.
It was also good to see a certificate of appreciation begin awarded to Bob Mahay, Community Liaison Officer, and to all Medway police for the work that they do.
We were also blessed with incredibly good weather as we walked from the war memorial, past Medway Hospital to the Sikh Temple, Byron Road, where we were warmly welcomed, told something of the history of Sikhism ... ... and were well fed 😀Our walk then took us to the Mosque on Canterbury Street, where we received another gracious welcome by Iman Irfan, and were, once again ... fed 😀 Our final stop of the day was St Mark's Church where we were warmly received by the Archdeacon of Rochester Diocese, Andy Wooding-Jones.
There followed a fabulous programme of cultural entertainment including: the Music Man Project, a Tai Chi demonstration, some Romanian Kitka dancers, and MJ Praise and her Gospel choirOh, and more offerings of food 😂😂😂
