Do - Moroccan British Society

ForewordAiming to foster inter-religious dialogue in these times of prevalentpolitical and religious tensions internationally, the MBS approached theBritish Library with the idea of an exhibition that would acquaint thegeneral public with the shared values of the three Religions of The Book.This undertaking was guided by the mutual respect between our RespectiveMonarchs and by the centuries’ old dialogue between our Nations. It wasfurther inspired by the religious status of Her Majesty The Queen ofEngland as Head of the Anglican Church and of His Majesty The King ofMorocco as Commander of the Faithful.“Sacred” is a shared vision, a reminder and proof that coexistence amongstreligious communities and faiths is natural and what unites People of theBook is far greater than what would divide them.The Royal Patronage of “Sacred” seeks to foster unity, mutual respectand understanding. The Moroccan British Society, in contributing to thisevent, seeks to underline the Moroccan example, where interfaith respectis the norm. Islam in Morocco has always opposed extremism and enabledpeople to live in peace, harmony and good intelligence with all faiths andreligious communities.H.H.
