Talking of interfaith praying …
So, I was going through BBC News, and an item caught my eye. Apparently, the Queen broke tradition by attending a Maundy Thursday service (if you don’t know what Maundy Thursday is, ask your Christian friends!) outside England and Wales (she was in Northern Ireland).

Go and Vote!
