BUILDING friendly relationships at work was the Christian message from Kent Messenger Group chairman Edwin Boorman at Canterbury Cathedral on Sunday.

He spoke to a congregation of over 200 from all denominations at the Canterbury branch of Churches Together in England’s service of unity.

This year’s focus was on knowing your neighbour and embracing your enemies in the office and further afield, with Christ the cornerstone and foundation.

Service organiser the Rev Simon Rowlands, who is chaplain of Canterbury Christ Church University College, said: “Mr Boorman’s was a Christian message about being more tolerant of others and to think about those next to us at work as well as those close to us or the victims of disaster.

“It comes down to the question of who are our neighbours?

“The service is one of only two occasions, along with Good Friday, when all denominations come together.”
