I READ with great interest in the Stourbridge News the article about the two doctors Dr James Bowen and Dr Parvez Iqbal setting up a website aiming to unite their two cultures.

This Sunday in the Sunday Independent was an article about Rabbi Herschel Gluck who runs a humanitarian and education charity working to achieve peace and reconciliation all over the world.

He co-founded the Muslim Jewish Forum with Ismail Amaan who is director of the Forum and they are good friends and visit each other.

They spoke recently at The House of Commons about Muslim-Jewish relations in Britain, so one can see there is a move towards trying to understand other backgrounds and religions of ethnic minorities in our country.

I know there are schools who are open minded about this issue and it needs parents who will foster this attitude in their families and support the teachers who work so hard to achieve this with their own Christian upbringing.

I look forward to hearing more about this wonderful ray of hope, how it can show itself in the playground and in neighbourly actions.
