“The closure of the Inter Faith Network has resulted in the transfer of responsibility for Inter Faith Week 2024 to a group of inter-faith organisations. Together we will ensure that the Week continues, as a focus of interfaith activties that bring together diverse communities.”

We continue to receive reports from organisations which took part in #InterFaithWeek and used it to help others and to strengthen #interfaith understanding and cooperation. Here's one from @CCJUK - CCJ by Dilara Eren - CCJ #Campus Leadership Programme 2023-24 published in CCJ's newsletter today. "During inter faith week, many societies collaborated together to create an interfaith panel event with a wide range of speakers. We started off with set questions and then opened it up to the floor. Everyone was really in tune and engaged, listening with real curiosity. The answers each speaker gave sparked more questions, which we could see on the mentimeter that so many people submitted questions! It was nice to learn about the core beliefs of each faith, and see how each speaker represented their faith differently e.g. through their experiences, texts, outfits etc. Overall I really enjoyed being a part of the panel as it showed unity and respect between the different faiths, and encouraged discussions during the breaks too where people were actively approaching others and asking questions!"

INTER FAITH WEEK PROJECT STORIES We continue to receive reports from organisations which took part in #InterFaithWeek and used it to help others and to strengthen #interfaith understanding and cooperation. Here's one from @emmanuel_house_, #Nottingham, that's just come in! "Inter Faith Week celebrates connections and understanding between #religious and #faith groups, focusing on shared learning and collaboration to help the local community. As Emmanuel House is a charity founded in faith, we thought it would be appropriate to get in touch with other faith-based groups that offer support, and band together during the week to provide food for those who are facing #homelessness . #SalaamShalom, a local #Muslim and #Jewish kitchen group [see photos] did a cooking session in the kitchen at Emmanuel House, serving a wonderful lasagne and garlic bread, and Sanatan Community Service, a #Hindu group which runs a #foodbank, cooked a delicious vegetarian curry at the Winter Shelter. We also made connections with @GuruMisssion, a #Sikh street outreach group and hope to collaborate with them in the future. All three groups have expressed a desire to work on regular food projects, throughout the year, with Emmanuel House and the Winter Night Shelter. #volunteering
