Wearing of religious dress and symbols
Over the last few months, there has been renewed debate about the wearing in
public of items of religious dress and of religious symbols in a religiously
diverse society like Britain. A wide variety of views and concerns have been
expressed in the course of this. At times these have shown a lack of
appreciation of the reasons why religious dress and symbols are significant
to the wearers or have made the inappropriate assumption that a person is
somehow less ‘British’ or less of a full member of this society because of
the practices they follow.
The Inter Faith Network’s Executive Committee has offered some reflections,
in response to this debate, on how issues of this kind might best be
approached.
