Pope Benedict XVI addressed representatives of Britain's religions gathered in the Waldegrave Drawing Room at St Mary's University College, Twickenham. Having listened to addresses by the Chief Rabbi and Dr Khaled Assam a representative of the Musim community, Benedict XVI stressed the importance of dialogue and working collaboratively:

"As followers of different religious traditions working together for the good of the community at large, we attach great importance to this 'side by side' dimension of our cooperation, which complements the 'face to face' aspect of our continuing dialogue."
