Harold Meyer Memorial Lecture 2025

Deputy Lieutenant Claire Bertschinger joined members of the Watford Interfaith Association for the Harold Meyer Memorial Lecture, delivered by Dr Iona C. Hine on the theme “The Future of Interfaith.” The event was held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Watford and brought together people of diverse backgrounds to reflect on the evolving role of interfaith dialogue in today’s world.

The lecture honours Harold Meyer, founder of the Watford Interfaith Association. A survivor of the Kindertransport, Harold came to the UK from Germany in 1939 and was welcomed by the Jesuit community in London, who supported his Jewish faith. His lifelong gratitude inspired a deep commitment to interfaith work and fostering mutual understanding among communities.
