We are holding our AGM on 6th February at 6pm. It will be held online and in person at Shirley House.
All members are welcomed to attend and any new members can either join us on the day or beforehand. (Membership details are at below).
We have reviewed what we are doing and now need your agreement for thre future direction of Sheffield Interfaith. It is proposed that we
1. Create a space in which we can meet together to eat (our food and friendship events)
2. Create an online space in which we respectfully share aspects of our own faith and listen to other. This could cover topics such as Honesty, Hope, Wisdom, as well as a sharing of our respective scriptures.
3. Set up a small group of members to help us develop a safe way of having face to face discussions about the more difficult / sensitive aspects of interfaith dialogue
4. Refocus the Interfaith Week event to concentrate on a visit to one place of worship rather than arranging a walk visiting a number of places.
5. Constantly seeking new ways of engaging with as many different faith groups in Sheffield as possible.

Jewish Life in Sheffield 1849-1976 – Exhibition at Sheffield Central Library until 9th August
| Are you searching for information about your family background, or interested in the history of this minority community, or looking for something to do in central Sheffield? The British Jewish community’s presence might be more obvious in larger urban places like London and Manchester but smaller cities also have rich histories of Jewish migration and influence. These histories are often uncovered in archive collections and can help to remind a city’s residents and current community that those stories exist and of their legacy through to today. |
 Our latest display: Records of Jewish Life in Sheffield 1849 – 1976 showcases the “Sheffield Jewish Archives”. It features photos, correspondence, minute books, pamphlets and even a set of mausoleum keys! It runs from now until 10th August on the first floor of Sheffield Central Library. You can find out more about the display here. With thanks to funding from the Jane Goodman Charitable Trust. |
WRONG DATE – Please note the Sheffield Interfaith Food and Friendship bring and share dinner is on THURSDAY 11th JULY and not as advertised earlier this week.
This was the date agreed at our AGM and circulated to members ; it is not being changed to avoid a clash with England’s Euro football semi-final on Wednesday, but for those who wish to watch the football, Thursday will be more convenient for the dinner.
The post on this website has been updated – but here are the correct details again:
Come and meet, and make friends with, people from different traditions by joining us for a multi-cultural, mainly vegetarian, bring and share meal. If you are able, please bring some food to share (kitchen available); but come anyway.
