“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

Companies are, increasingly, giving more attention to the dimension of religion or belief. #InterFaithWeek is a time which a number use to highlight this and to provide special learning opportunities. Here, a @northernassist faith trail last week. #faithfriendlyworkplaces #Bradford #diversity #inclusion @MultiFaithDerby @luhc northernrailway.co.uk/news/i…

During @IFWeek, IFN staff attend a number of events in between putting up events on the website, running social media for the week and offering other support. In the second half of the Week, events attended have included: a reception held by the Archbishop of Canterbury for HM The King to visit Lambeth Palace Library and to talk with faith leaders and representatives of faith communities; a discussion on justice in different faiths (@NIFForum); an @IFWeek and @MitzvahDay event (@MiddlesexUni staff Interfaith Network, @FinchleyPollin & @BarnetMFF); an event on different faiths' approach to use of water (@CamInterfaith); an #interfaith event and #football activity (@BaitulGhafoor) in Halesowen; a South Asian fair and all faiths exhibition at the Zoroastrian Centre in London (ZTFE, @HInterfaith, @harrow_council and Harrow Cadets); an inter faith conservation activity at #WalthamstowWetlands (@WildLondon), a multi-faith storytelling performance of wisdom drawn from many faith traditions presented by @KhayaalTheatre (@lutonfaiths @nearneighbours @GrassrootsLuton ) and Bristol Diverse Open Doors day (@MultiFaithBRIS), as well as contributing online or via video messages to @networkrail Multi Faith Staff Network and @TheFCA staff events, a @NFCC_FireChiefs focus group discussion for ED&I leads and HR Leads, and a @NW_Interfaith event.

The last day of #InterFaithWeek is also #MitzvahDay – a day of social action led by the Jewish community. Each year, a number of events are held which are both for @MitzvahDay @IFWeek . IFN's Project Director was pleased to join one of these this morning at @FinchleyMethodistChu. Participants of different faiths worked together to plant and layer pollinator-friendly bulbs in pots. #environment #gardening #InterFaithWeek

It's the final day of #InterFaithWeek! You can see today's activities here: interfaithweek.org/ if you'd like to find one near you or online to join.

Many discussions and other activities are being held this week by local #interfaith organisations around the UK. @IFNetUK 's Exec Director shares here some pictures from a @NIFForum and Wellingborough Inter Faith Group event that she attended today on different faiths' understandings of justice. The High Sheriff of Northamptonshire, Milan Shah was present (shown with IFN Exec Dir, Harriet Crabtree). Chair Daniel Tabor and Cynthia Bailey are pictured, standing in front of the multi faith panel which was chaired by Martin Heath of @BBCNorthampton #InterFaithWeek #Northampton #Wellingborough @luhc

#FreedomofReligionorBelief is a theme which is always the focus of a number of conversations during #InterFaithWeek. Earlier this week, @IFNetUK's Co-Chairs were pleased to welcome to an @IFWeek MP drop-in at the @HouseofCommons Fiona Bruce MP, Prime Minister's Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief.

It's Day 7 of #InterFaithWeek (which is an '8 day week' to give time for events on two Sundays). The final weekend of the Week is always a popular time for inter faith walks and faith trails. You can check those out and also today's other activities at: interfaithweek.org/events/da…

Day 6 of #InterFaithWeek is drawing to a close. Many different kinds of activities, each sharing, in different ways, the important messages of #InterFaithWeek. Photo: IFN message boards (@Pareshsolanki for @IFNetUK)

#InterFaithWeek is a time when special milestones and achievements are often recognised. Last night, 20 years of the work of the @CymruInterfaith #InterFaithCouncilforWales was celebrated at a special event with music, talks and food and honouring of those involved from the beginning. There was participation from @WelshGovernment Ministers, faith leaders and local #faith and #interfaith groups. @IFNetUK's Project Director enjoyed the chance to join the celebration.

The Board and Faith Communities Forum of @IFNetUK invited #faith leaders to share a message for Inter Faith Week - either on the contribution that faith communities make to society (individually and together) through working for social justice or a message of general support for the Week. Inter Faith Week’s focus, like that of IFN which leads on it, is our shared lives in the UK.

It's Day 6 of #InterFaithWeek 12-19 November. Check out today's activities at: interfaithweek.org/events/da…… And why not reach out for a conversation with a colleague or friend of a different faith or non-religious beliefs about how that shapes each of your approaches to work or to life more generally?

Welcome to Day 5 of #InterFaithWeek! You can see activities happening today at: interfaithweek.org/events/da…. If you'd like to support the Week and its aims but don't have an activity planned, why not post a short message about the importance of inter faith dialogue and cooperation, with the hashtag #interfaithweeek or reach out for a conversation with a friend of colleague of a different faith or non-religious belief?

#InterFaithWeek 12-19 November is a time for learning, volunteering together, celebrating - and also conversation / dialogue. A number of the conversations this week are tackling challenging issues, such as food poverty and bridging division.

This week is #InterFaithWeek.

That might be one-on-one or a small group of you at work or in other context.
