On July 11, 2005 an InterFaith Network for the United Kingdom Press Release reported, "The Inter Faith Network for the UK has, this weekend, issued the document, 'Looking After One Another: The Safety and Security of our Faith Communities'... Looking After One Another offers guidelines for faith communities to respond jointly to threats to their safety and security, [commenting], 'We, as faith communities.....have a role in responding to emergency situations and to inter community tensions, both as individual communities and – very importantly – together. In our shared society we are deeply interconnected. An attack on one is an attack on all.' The present document was... developed by the Inter Faith Network in consultation with a range of organisations. It is planned to issue it as a booklet in the coming weeks but its text has been made available more rapidly given the possible repercussions for community relations of the terrorist attacks in London last Thursday."
