The Church of Scotland and the Islamic Finance Council UK are convening the meeting of faith leaders, parliamentarians, and key names in finance to agree a shared values framework, the first of its kind globally, on which a wide-ranging financial solution will be developed.
Rev Dr Richard Frazer, convener of the Church of Scotland’s Church and Society Council, said: “Two of the most important tasks that we face as a society are developing a fairer and more sustainable economy – one which has a passion for equality at its heart – and building stronger relationships across faith communities. This initiative does both and it is hugely exciting to be a part of it.”
The framework is expected to be announced in early 2017.
