Devon Faith and Belief Forum

All of us at the Devon Faith and Belief Forum would like to share our deep and heartfelt concern for the loss of innocent life on all sides of the current Israel - Gaza conflict and our collective wish for a swift and peaceful resolution to the war as soon as possible. Our members, of all faiths and beliefs, are unified in our distress for the victims of both the October 7th massacre, and for the thousands killed in the ensuing conflict. We strongly denounce all Antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks on UK soil following on from this, and call for harmony, peace, unity, empathy, respect, and understanding between our communities at this particularly tense and challenging time.
