Two Muslim sheikhs were at a Welsh church on Sunday to take part in an Epiphany service as a sign of friendship and peace with Christians.
The service at St Mary's Church, Wenvoe, near Cardiff, was joined by Dr Abdalla Yassin Mohammed, originally from the Sudan and now a member of the Muslim Council of Wales, and Sheikh Elnayyal Abu Groon.
Instead of a sermon, Canon Robin Morrison interviewed Dr Mohammed about shared concerns in a world of religious violence and division.
Sheikh Abu Groon joined in prayers during the service and received a blessing at communion.
The two sheikhs and their families were at the service as part of the Open Tent project set up by Canon Morrison and Dr Mohammed to counter Islamic
The project aims to promote the "common humanity" of people of the two faiths and follows a series of 10 joint conferences called Finding a Common Voice between the Church in Wales and the Muslim Council of Wales that took place between 2006 and 2011.
