More than 80 people gathered at the Vange Community Centre to pray with the local Islamic community for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Among those representing Islam and a range of Christian denominations was the Bishop of Bradwell, Laurie Green.
He said: "The followers of these religions are all children of Abraham - there is more that unites us than divides us."
