The previous day, both Julie Jones and President Govier joined members of the Interfaith Council for Wales at Cardiff University in giving evidence to the Commission on Religion and Belief in British Public Life that is being chaired by Baroness Elizabeth Butler-Sloss.
The purpose of the Commission on Religion and Belief in British Public Life is to consider the place and role of religion and belief in contemporary Britain, examine how ideas of Britishness and national identity may be inclusive of a range of religions and beliefs, explore how shared understandings of the common good may contribute to greater levels of mutual trust and collective action, and to a more harmonious society.
