Minister for Communities and Speaker of the House at Young Leaders' Interfaith Week Reception

On Wednesday the 18th November the Three Faiths Forum hosted a young leaders’ Interfaith Week reception, featuring speeches by John Denham MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, and John Bercow MP, Speaker of the House of Commons. The reception celebrated the achievements of current and former participants of TFF mentoring programmes, including ‘ParliaMentors’, in which trios of Muslim, Christian and Jewish students are mentored for a year by an MP or peer.

Mr Bercow said he was “proud to be a patron of the Three Faiths Forum” and that the ParliaMentors programme “is beneficial to you, and beneficial to MPs who want to be aware of the fantastic work you are doing; who want to share, encourage and celebrate what you do.”

John Denham also praised the Three Faiths Forum, saying “your work is of the most enormous importance. Our diversity is our strength; it will be the hallmark of all successful societies in the future.”
