Comment by Sally Johnson, local resident
St Peter's in the Forest Walthamstow.
To share in the holy season of Ramadan with friends from the neighbourhood of many different faiths and hear inspiring talks about how to move forward together, living out our different kinds of faith in kindness for our brothers and sisters, this was a joy and a blessing.
Comment by Bilal Vahidy,
local resident
London Academy of Excellence,
Stratford
Islam is often seen as one of the most ethnically diverse religions in the world [1], with Muslims belonging to all different races. Even in less ethnically diverse areas, Muslims with all different shades of skin colour, unite to celebrate a joyous occasion.
Speech by Yemisi Osho
Madam Mayor Waltham Forest And we can only achieve “liberty and justice for all” if we live by that one rule at the heart of every religion—that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. So, as we break bread together this Iftar, let us celebrate a great religion with a rich history. Let us give thanks that we live in a country founded on the principles of religious tolerance and mutual respect
Speech by Islam
Waltam Forest Youth Group
London has been going through a really enduring time with all the recent attacks
Not only has this made us aware of the possible threats that the country may be facing but it has allowed us to come together as one and stand in front of these evil and barbaric attacks, especially in our borough and to make sure that we do not live in fear.
Speech by Daniel Mackintosh, Citizens UK
Waltham Forest and Redbridge We need strong relationships between different groups.
On the Sabbath, Jews often sing this song called ‘Hineh Matov’ from Psalm 133. It goes ‘Hineh Matov Umanayim, Shevet Achim Gam Yachad’.
Which translates as ‘Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity’.
Speech by Sister Josephine
English Province of the Oblates of the Assumption from the Scriptures where we are told that Jesus wept over the city of Jerusalam saying “If you in your turn had only understood on this day the message of Peace.”
We, too, have wept over our City in the past two weeks and so perhaps it is even more important now that we re-double our efforts to attain this Peace.

We have been invited to Jordan to meet with King Abdulla II to receive our 'Bronze Medal' and prize money of £5000
HM King Abdullah II of Jordan Prize for World Interfaith Harmony Week 2017
The judges received 79 applications for the prize from over 1054 events held in total. The judges are highly appreciative of all the efforts of all those who held events and applied for the prize. They wish they could reward all who held an event, but are consoled by the fact that good deeds are their own reward so that everyone who held an event—whether they applied for the prize or not—is a true winner.
In judging, the judges took into consideration efforts made despite scantiness of resources, but also took into consideration the excellence of efforts, collaboration and impact of events. They further took into consideration whether events were consistent with the text of the UN Resolution establishing the Prize. Accordingly, judges did not reward movements towards religious syncretism but rather rewarded events which respected each religion as it is. Finally, in accordance with the terms of the Prize, judges rewarded events specifically celebrating the World Interfaith Harmony Week rather than good interfaith work in general.
Accordingly, the judges are delighted to announce:

A little history - Waltham Oak
A pub was first built on the site in 1846 and called ‘Little Wonder’, named after the horse which won the 1840 Derby at odds of 50-1.
The pub was renamed the Chestnut Tree in 1863 as Lea Bridge Road was famous for lines of chestnut trees, planted in 1814 and removed in the 1930s.
The pub was bought by the Taylor Walker Brewery in 1899, rebuilt in its present form in 1925 and re-opened as the refurbished Waltham Oak in 2005.

Around 200 people gathered outside a packed council chamber on Tuesday night as Waltham Forest Council’s planning committee decided on the application from the Faizan-e-Islam organisation to convert the Waltham Oak in Lea Bridge Road, Walthamstow.
The Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA), which supports communities to save their local pubs from closure and demolition, said it was “delighted” the bid was rejected.
Residents and committee members expressed concern at the loss of a landmark historical pub at the planning meeting, but the application was denied on the grounds of potential disturbance to people living in sheltered housing next door and predicted parking congestion in the area at prayer times.

Hundreds of supporters of a bid to turn a pub building into a mosque vowed to fight a decision to refuse the proposal.
Around 200 people gathered outside a packed council chamber last night as Waltham Forest Council’s planning committee decided on the application from the Faizen-e-Islam organisation for the Waltham Oak in Lea Bridge Road, Walthamstow, which has been closed for a year.
Residents and committee members expressed concern at the loss of a landmark historical pub, which they said has been an important part of the community in that part of Walthamstow. The application was then denied on the grounds of potential disturbance to people living in sheltered housing next door and predicted parking congestion in the area at prayer times.
In emotional scenes outside the town hall, Ghulam Rabbani, Faizan-e-Islam director, announced the committee’s decision and vowed to appeal. He told the crowd: “This is the beginning of our fight. We will be fighting in a democratic and legal way. We are going for appeal. Our intention was to support the local community regardless of race, creed or colour. We are proud of our work.” During the meeting, the refusal was backed by four committee members, including chairman, Peter Barnett, who said: “Removing a pub from that area will devastate the night time economy. I would be happy to support a mosque in another place but this is the wrong place to have a mosque.”

However Tariq Mahmood, 56, a committee member at the Lea Bridge Road mosque, said the planned mosque would be inclusive and serve the whole community.
He said: "The planning committee made out like mosques are just for one kind of people but its more like a community centre. It’s biased against Muslims opening up things."
Committee member Cllr Alan Siggers supported the application.
He said: “It’s very hard to imagine how people attending this place for the purpose of their devotions would create more noise and disturbance than people coming and going from a pub.”

More than two-thirds of homeless families are being housed outside of Waltham Forest, making the Labour-run council and Westminster, the worst in London.
Due to a "chronic" shortage of housing, Waltham Forest council started moving tenants to Luton around five years ago, and was done in preparation ahead of a housing benefit cap that was expected to exasperate (sic) the crisis further, former cabinet member for housing councillor Marie Pye said.
