The Exhibition is held as part of the Leeds “Treasures Revealed” initiative, under which places of worship belonging to different faiths open their doors to the wider community. Makkah Mosque is the only mosque in Leeds that takes part in the “Treasures Revealed” programme and therefore is a popular visiting place for people of all faiths and backgrounds. The previous Exhibitions held at Makkah Mosque have been very successful in encouraging different communities to come together and enhance their relations. Dignitaries Session In addition to the general exhibition, we are holding a special ‘Connecting Cultures’ session for dignitaries and community leaders on Friday 8th May 2009 at 3:00pm. The format of the session will be along the same lines as last year. Distinguished speakers at last year’s exhibition included John Battle MP (former faith advisor), Hilary Benn (Cabinet Minister), the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police, the Pro-Vice-Chancellors of Leeds University and Leeds Metropolitan University, faith leaders, and representatives from local council, the education, the business, voluntary and community sectors. We are aiming to secure a similar line up for this year’s session.   UK’s Model Mosque   Makkah Mosque is leading the way in holding multi-faith events and encouraging inter-community relations; this is one of the reasons behind it  recently being voted the UK’s Model Mosque in a nation-wide competition.  For details, please see: http://www.makkahmasjid.co.uk/wp/index.php/2008/10/30/makkah-masjid-uks-model-mosque/  Further, HRH Prince Charles has also recognised Makkah Mosque’s efforts to enhance inter-faith and inter-community relations in a recent speech.
