Humanity in Harmony
Humanity in Harmony, a Unity of Diversity event held at the Zoroastrian Centre during Inter Faith Week, brought together people from many different faiths, beliefs, and backgrounds to share, listen, and learn from one another while helping to develop the Unity of Diversity project (see uriuk.org), which aims to build stronger links between communities and encourage cooperation across differences.
Envisioning Interfaith Together
Envisioning Interfaith Together was an event held during Inter Faith Week. It created space to reflect on what it means to live well together in a diverse society and to imagine new forms of cooperation in response to shared challenges, from social division to global crises. Through open dialogue, storytelling, and practical discussion, participants explored how interfaith relationships can nurture understanding, challenge prejudice, and inspire joint action for the common good in communities.
Midlands+ Interfaith Conference 2024
The Government’s new Minister for Faith, Lord Khan of Burnley, addressed an evening conference of inter-faith activists at Coventry University on Tuesday, 12th November. Lord Khan highlighted the Midlands’ role in encouraging and promoting inter-faith and reflected upon the discussions he has had with various faith leaders since taking his position in government earlier this year.
The ‘Midlands Interfaith Conference’ was designed to re-energise inter-faith activity in the East and West Midlands. As in other parts of the country, those working on dialogue and social action involving different faith groups have been demoralised by factors including the closure of the Inter Faith Network for the UK, following cancellation of its funding earlier this year.
