A peace walk through south England city, Southampton, is planned next Sunday, July 7, to highlight the importance of understanding between different faith groups, Daily Echo reported.

“Lots of people have never been in a mosque or a temple or synagogue so it’s just about showing people what they are like and what people do in them,” Buddhist and organizer David Vane said.

The Southampton Council of Faiths Annual Peace Walk will take place on July 7 from 12.15pm.

With a message of breaking down barriers and embracing multiculturalism, the walk will start at the Queens Fountain in East Park on Above Bar Street and journey through the city.

The walk will visit Medina Mosque, Nanaksar Gurdwara, Southampton Synagogue, Friends Meeting House and Central Baptist Church.

It will take in a stop at the Abu Bakr mosque for lunch, before heading off to the Vedic Sikh Temple and then to the Gurduwara Temple before ending at St Mary’s Church.

Organized by Southampton’s Council of Faiths it is one of a number of events aimed at bringing people of different faiths together

“It’s to break down barriers of understanding because we live in a world where there’s so much multiculturalism and different faiths and these things are opportunities for people to get a better understanding,” Malkeat Singh said.

According to the 2011 Census, 2.7 million Muslims live in England and Wales, up by almost 1 million from the previous census, where they form 5.0% of the general population.

This is not the first time to have such a remarkable gesture of interfaith peace walk.

Muslim community in Manchester planned a similar peace walk in May 2017 to pay their respects to those killed in the arena attacks.

New York City faith leaders also marched in 2018 to show solidarity with immigrants and refugees and call for compassionate immigration policies as part of the worldwide “Share the Journey” campaign.
