Scottish primus joins in offering prayers at Parliament’s 25th anniversary
[Scottish Episcopal Church] The primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church, the Most Rev. Mark Strange, joined other faith leaders at a celebration marking the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Scottish Parliament. The event took place on Sept. 28 and included King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Strange said he met with Imam Sayed Razawi, the Chief Imam and Director-General of the Scottish Ahlul-Bayt Society. He said the two exchanged news and views about what was happening in Scotland, and about the troubles across in the world. “We spoke about Israel and Palestine, the horror of Gaza, the bombing now being experienced across Lebanon, and the fear of people living on both sides of borders.
“We didn’t speak about ideology or political aggression – we spoke about the pain and the fear in the communities we belong to, the Christian community struggling in the Holy Land, the Muslim communities experiencing hatred for simply being a Muslim, and we shared our concerns for the Jewish community in Scotland at this time of raised tension.”
He added the two of them “offered prayer for a ceasefire across the region.”
