Statement from the Rt Revd Dr Tom Butler, Bishop of Southwark, on the death of Sheikh Dr Zaki Badawi

25 Jan 2006

I was sorry to learn of the death of Sheikh Dr Zaki Badawi. He was an eloquent and thoughtful spokesman for the Muslim communities of Britain and had worked long and hard to promote better relations between our faith communities both here and overseas. His friendship and wisdom have been greatly valued within the Christian community and I shall remember him with thanksgiving.

Ends.
