 Good afternoon. Our first item of business this afternoon is time for reflection and our time for reflection leader is Ms Frances swims, Development Officer at Interfaith Scotland. Members of the Scottish Parliament, thank you for the opportunity to address you today. I am particularly delighted to be able to address you during Scottish Interfaith week, when over 50 events have been organised by local people, faith communities, interfaith groups, educational bodies and organisations to promote and celebrate the multi-faith and multicultural nature of Scottish society. The theme of Scottish Interfaith week this year is the religion and the media. The media plays an increasing important role in people's lives Mae'r eu cyffredin diddwydd, ach bod bydd hynna'n ei ddodd ei gwydddoedd i gyd. Mae'r porydd mewn gwneud yn maen nhw y pwyntig ar y cwrdd ymgyrchu i ddefnyddiaethau yn y gwirioneddol llwyddoedd mewn gweld, yn dechrau i ddechrau cabons, ond i ddim yn amserach. Ar gysylltiadau, rydym eich bod hi yn oeid i gychwyn i gyd yn cael ei ddim yn digwydd i ddim yn bwyntio gyrfaethau i ddim yn gwybod, ac ngallw'r lách yn y dyfnyddiannau ddifrifol o ffordd.

I'm reminded on the quote attributed into Edmund Burke that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men and women to do nothing. We have just had Remembrance Sunday and as the collective living memory fades from the two world wars, I'm struck that if we don't learn from our history, we may mindlessly repeat it. Last week, the religious leaders of Scotland and members of Interfaith Scotland met with the First Minister at an Interfaith summit. We discussed how faith and interfaith engagement with young people contributes to community cohesion. I have witnessed how bringing people of different faiths into schools can reduce the demonising of the other and how that face-to-face contact and dialogue can turn potential enemies into friends. I first became involved in interfaith dialogue when I attended an interfaith youth retreat on Holy Isle off the coast of Arran. I found there a group of enthusiastic young people from all faiths who had a passionate commitment to making a positive difference in the world. I found that we are all interconnected and share common values. In that spirit, may we all challenge fears and suspicion when we see them and become a positive and united force for change in society.
