The month celebrates diversity and forgiveness inspiring multi-faith guided tour of the city centre.
Starting at the Multi-Faith Centre, in Priory Row, the event started as members of a number of major faith groups got together and said prayers and read from holy books.

The enlightening walk around the city centre went to Coventry Cathedral, Eagle Street Muslim Mosque, Shree Krishna Hindu Temple and Gurdwara Gurunanak Parkash Sikh Temple.

At each place we learnt a little about each religion and heard the repeated message that all seek understanding and unity between faiths.
The walk was a very enjoyable and unusual way to start the weekend. It was at turns solumn and inspiring but always fascinating and thoughtful.
The group was as varied as the places we visited and was a genuine mix of races and religions, all generously giving their time to make the most of the event.
It was a great way to start Coventry Peace Month and to mark the city's important role as a centre for unity.
