The Imams visited with Cardinal Vincent Nichols, who has been coordinating interreligious discussions with the leaders for the past few years.
According to the Catholic Church in England and Wales, Christians and Muslims are increasingly cooperating on social action initiatives like the reception of Syrian refugees, food banks and care for the homeless.
