Very interested in supporting any people who worked for understanding between the religions

   Dr. Parkes is a cleric by education but he never practiced. He became in fact a researcher and a writer and a campaigner. And what he campaigned for was a reasonable understanding between the Jewish and the Christian religion. Nowadays also the Muslim religion but originally the Jewish and Christian. I was just starting on my third career: I rediscovered myself as a philanthropist. So I decided to support him because I was very interested in supporting any people like that who worked for understanding between the religions. I met him almost accidentally, socially, and I was very impressed with him and I was even more impressed with his work to combat the enmity between the church and the synagogue.
