In a powerful show of unity amid rising global and local tensions, faith and belief leaders from across Glasgow’s communities have signed the ‘Glasgow 850 Interfaith Declaration’ a statement of shared values and commitments to build a more just, inclusive, and compassionate Glasgow.

Archbishop Nolan joined faith and civic representatives to sign on behalf of the Catholic community at a  Reception in the City Chambers as part of Glasgow’s 850th anniversary programme.

The Declaration sets out a shared vision for the city’s future—committing its supporters to nurture understanding across faiths and worldviews; work together for equality, peace, and climate justice; welcome refugees; and challenge prejudice in all its forms.

Launched against a backdrop of hate crime, anti-immigrant sentiment, and strains on interfaith relationships caused by international conflicts and social polarisation—the Declaration states that Glasgow is a city of unity, compassion, and dialogue.
