London, September 2014. Mr Anthony Bailey, OBE, has been appointed as Patron to Faiths Forum for London.
Launched in 2010, the Faiths Forum for London seeks to enable religious communities to work together for a better London and provides a platform and channel for communication between nine faith communities and London’s regional authorities, business and the academy. The Founding Patron of the Forum is Mr Maurice Ostro, OBE, and the Honorary Patrons are Rt Rev Richard Chartres, Bishop of London; Rt Hon Fiona Woolf, Lord Mayor of London; and Boris Johnson, Mayor of London. Some of the events organised by the Forum include London Resilience Forum for safer London, International Interfaith and Intercultural Conference for corporate social responsibility, and Mayor’s Interfaith Conference.
Mr Anthony Bailey was appointed as Patron due to his role as a long-standing inter-faith campaigner and his engagement in several faith based charities in Britain and overseas including as Magistral Delegate for Inter-Religious Relations of the the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St George, an internationally recognised Roman Catholic Order of Knighthood committed to charitable, humanitarian, hospitaller and inter-religious activities throughout the world. Mr Bailey has advised over sixty six governments across six continents including many at cabinet or head of state level, and has played an active role in Education since 2000 and served on two UK Ministerial Advisory Groups. He was awarded the OBE in 2008 in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List and was knighted by Pope Benedict XVI in 2009 in recognition of his inter-religious and charity work.
