A spokesman from the Redbridge Faith Forum said: "As we gently walk through central Ilford to some of the many places of worship to be found there, the Redbridge Faith Forum’s annual Multi-faith Walk of Peace brings together people from the diverse faith communities in Redbridge in a spirit of fellowship and harmony. Our focus this year is “What does pilgrimage mean to me?”
"Whether it be a special Holy place to visit, a spiritual journey, a commitment we undertake, or simply a time of spiritual renewal, as we walk together, visiting various faith venues, we will learn about pilgrimage from different faith perspectives."
The walk will continue through central Ilford and include stops at places of worship including a Buddhist vihara, Hindu temple, Islamic centre, church, and gurdwara. Talks will be given at each venue.
Attendees are welcome to join or leave the walk at any point.
