In the run-up to the coronation of King Charles III, Bhaktivedanta Manor in Radlett hosted a pre-coronation tea for faith leaders on Tuesday, May 2.
The event was attended by more than 30 religious organisations from across Hertfordshire, who collectively represented a dozen faiths.
This year, Bhaktivedanta Manor celebrates its 50th anniversary — it was 50 years ago that George Harrison MBE of The Beatles kindly donated the temple to the community.
Lord-Lieutenant of Hertfordshire Robert Voss CBE said: “Faith is a central part of the King’s priorities and Hertfordshire’s diversity is something to celebrate. Hosting this tea will bring faith leaders together to form strong links to bring about change in our community.”
Lady Verulam, chair of the Hertfordshire Lieutenancy Interfaith Panel, said: “It is hoped that such a gathering of faith leaders has a special role to play in fulfilling the vision of the King.”
President of Bhaktivedanta Manor Her Grace Visakha Dasi said: “Cooperation and collaboration between our diverse spiritual communities will be strongest when there’s positive communication.”
The event concluded in the cutting of a cake with the ceremonial sword by Her Grace Vishaka Dasi and the Lord-Lieutenant.
