“Londoners are showing right now that we will always stand up with strength to confront terror. We will never be cowed by it.
“Right now we stand here together, leaders of Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
“We have come here in friendship on behalf of our communities. We extend our condolences to the families of those murdered, we pray for those who have been injured, and we proclaim – no person and no event will drive a wedge between us. Together, we will prevail.”
A minute's silence was held for the victims.
Speaking to the JC after the event, Rabbi Mirvis said, regarding the organisation of the event: “This seemed to me as being a very appropriate idea, and when we reached out to colleagues, they all welcomed it.
“What we experienced today was a very powerful statement of togetherness, and I very much welcome all the contributions that were made by the faith leaders here today.”
