A group of Christians and Muslims have gathered together to show solidarity in an area of Flintshire that has seen protests about plans for an Islamic Cultural Centre.
“Sharing Tables, Sharing Stories” took place at Bengal Dynasty, a restaurant in Shotton on 31 May. It allowed members of both faiths to demonstrate that the community can live in harmony, despite the vocal opinions of protesters.
The event was organised by Together Creating Communities, a group who try and bring communities together on local, regional and national issues.
North Wales Organiser Mike Harrison said:
“This gathering demonstrates that despite the perceptions voiced in some sections of the media, Christians and Muslims can stand together.
“We hope that Sharing Tables, Sharing Stories will be the first step in showing protest groups that a multi-faith community can live together in harmony in Shotton.”
