Bishop urges inter-faith harmony

The Bishop of Sheffield will urge Muslims and non-Muslims to unite when he addresses the launch of the city's Islam awareness week.

In September, Jack Nicholls spoke at a multi-faith vigil in the city to remember the 52 victims of the London bombings on 7 July.

Islam awareness week, now in its 12th year, starts on Monday and aims to encourage a climate of understanding.

It intends to highlight dialogue and friendships across different cultures.

Bishop Nicholls said: "It is vital that we reject division and build bridges of understanding across communities".
