A Tribute to Alex Salmond Former First Minister of Scotland
"I wanted to share my own personal sadness at the passing of Alex Salmond. He was a great supporter of interfaith and articulated a strong vision of an inclusive multi-cultural, multi-faith Scotland, 'One Scotland many cultures.' As such he was fond of quoting from the The Declaration of Arbroath including the line, "cum non sit Pondus nec distinccio Judei et Greci, Scoti aut Anglici", which translates to "there is neither bias nor difference between Jew or Greek, Scot or English". My thoughts are with his family and friends and at Edinburgh Interfaith we will continue to work towards fulfilling this vision."
- Executive Director, Iain Stewart.
