Archbishop Receives "Building Bridges Award" for His Commitment to Address Inter-Faith Issues

The Archbishop of Canterbury received the Woolf Institute of Abrahamic Faiths "Building Bridges Award" yesterday (February 16, 2010), the Christian Today website reports.

The award was made in recognition of Dr. Rowan Williams' commitment to addressing contemporary cultural and inter-faith issues.

The Archbishop said he was "delighted and very much honored" to receive the award from the Institute, which is dedicated to teaching, research, and dialogue in the encounter between Christians, Jews, and Muslims.

"I do so on behalf of all those who have made possible the various inter-faith encounters of recent years in which I have shared -- especially my dedicated staff and colleagues," the Archbishop said.
