Glasgow Christians, Muslims renovate places of worship

A special project is due to conclude on Friday that has not only brought two of Glasgow’s faith communities together, but demonstrated that they can co-exist happily alongside one another and work together for a common cause.

The Church of Scotland, represented by inter-faith worker Iain Stewart, of Govanhill Trinity Church, has been working with Rizi Mohammed from Central Mosque on a project to ‘spruce up’ both of these places of worship.

Iain and Rizi have been working with the Global Volunteer Agency, a link which has brought 18 volunteers from Syria to help clean and repair both the Central Mosque and Govanhill Trinity.
