Peace in Luton
- The peace of our town, Luton, is being challenged by the views of a few that seek to polarise the rest of us. As Christians and Muslims our commitment is:“in the face of extremist minorities that seek to separate us, we are united in the teaching of both our faiths, to love God and love our neighbour as ourselves.”

And to consider the political dimensions of opposing extremism and especially the hate politics of the BNP we suggest a visit to the Hope Not Hate website below.
