The Joint Public Issues Team (JPIT), a partnership between the Baptist Union of Great Britain, the Methodist Church and the United Reformed Church, has called Christians and people of all faiths and beliefs to join their interfaith lobby to stand up for refugees.

From Luton, Revd Naomi Young-Rodas, Minister of Newland United Reformed Church, Luton, will be participating in this Interfaith Lobby for Refugees. Supporting her, different faith leaders signed a letter from the Luton Council of Faiths requesting Rachel Hopkins, Labour MP for Luton South and South Bedfordshire, to meet with her at the Parliament. The letter said:
We are writing this as constituents, faith leaders and trustees associated with the Luton Council of Faiths, committed to serving the common good, strengthening cohesion, and supporting who are vulnerable.
We understand that Revd Naomi Young-Rodas, Minister of Newland United Reformed Church, Luton, will be participating in the forthcoming Interfaith Lobby for Refugees organised by Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) and the Joint Public Issues Team. The event brings together people of different faiths who share concerns for the dignity, wellbeing, and fair treatment of refugees and asylum seekers.
We would therefore be extremely grateful if you would consider meeting with Revd Naomi Young-Rodas at this lobby event, please.
Luton has a long tradition of communities of different faiths working together in solidarity and mutual respect. We hope that through dialogue and partnership we can continue to support policies and local initiatives that uphold human dignity while fostering social cohesion and inclusion.
Thank you for your service to our constituency and for considering this request.
