King meets Muslim and Jewish faith leaders after ‘Reconciliation Accords’ signed The King has met faith leaders at Buckingham Palace after the signing of a framework to lay the foundation for a transformative relationship between Jewish and Muslim communities – which Charles called “marvellous”.
The “Reconciliation Accords” were signed by faith leaders on Tuesday at Spencer House, London, after Muslim and Jewish religious and civic leaders were welcomed to Drumlanrig Castle in Scotland last month by the Duke of Buccleuch for an event convened by Chief Imam Dr Sayed Razawi, Buckingham Palace said.
In a statement about the Accords sent to the media, Sir Ephraim said: “The Drumlanrig Accords represent a bold first step towards rebuilding a meaningful trust between Muslim and Jewish communities over the long term.
The King first spoke to Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis, Chief Imam Dr Sayed Razawi, Senior Imam Qari Asim and Rabbi Josh Levy.
Last month at Drumlanrig Castle, 11 denominations from Judaism and Islam were represented in discussions focusing on the future of Jewish-Muslim relations, particularly in the context of global tensions and the impact on relationships between these communities, Buckingham Palace said.
