Qur'an should be read at Coronation

The former Bishop of Oxford has suggested that the Qur'an should be read at the Coronation service.

Speaking in a House of Lords' debate on religion and public life, Lord Harries referred to a service in Bristol Cathedral last year where the Qur'an was read and indicated that the Coronation should demonstrate similar 'hospitality'.

But Andrea Williams told the Daily Mail, "at a time when we are looking at what British values mean, we cannot have values in a vacuum. British values stem from our Christian heritage. We cannot pretend all religions are the same, or have the same benefits and outcomes for the nation."
