many faiths agree on common values from which to serve their communities

On Tuesday, 29 September 2009, MPs of various faiths presented a Shared Values Document at the 3rd Annual Labour Party Faiths Reception, which took place at St. Paul's Church in Brighton during the Party Conference this year.

Attending to hear the MPs discuss the values of their respective faiths and how the common values across their faiths can be used for the common good, were many members of the local Brighton community representing many faiths.  Also in attendance were various Conference Delegates, media and CSM members.

Among the many faiths represented were Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh.

Signatories to the document, most of whom were present at the Reception, are:

Rt. Hon. Stephen Timms MP
