WITH the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, the work of Greater Manchester's interfaith leaders has never been more relevant.
Jewish and Muslim leaders alike, have spoken out passionately to communities, through the Manchester Evening News, as the conflict and loss of life in the Middle East continues.
