Government minister begins tour of 42 places of worship

The tour, which is expected to last through 2018, follows a similar feat last year which saw him visit all 42 Anglican cathedrals in England.

This time round he will visit churches of different denominations and places of worship of different faiths.

Many of the buildings he will visit have been suggested by members of the community.

"England is a country with a rich heritage of religious diversity and our modern society thrives on the range of its faith communities," he said.

"Having already visited the 42 Anglican Cathedrals in England, I am looking forward to visiting 42 places of worship that serve Britain's other faith communities. It is important that we recognise the important part these places of worship and religious groups play in our communities."

Lord Bourne started the tour off in Leicester where he visited St Mary's, the church where he was christened.

The start of the tour also marked Inter Faith week where people of faith are encouraged to engage with those of differing beliefs.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
