An opportunity to visit different places of worship in Sheffield throughout Interfaith Week

Celebrating Interfaith week in Sheffield
Lock down 2, or was it 3?
Was it more than zoom and cake?
Members and friends of Sheffield Interfaith are invited to send a photograph to sheffieldinterfaith@hotmail.com that represents something that is getting you through all this. We will send you the zoom link for the meeting within 24 hours of receiving your contribution.

We will then meet via zoom on 14th November at 4pm to share these photos and talk a little about them.

The zoom link for the meeting will be sent within 24 hours of receiving your contribution.

From statues of deities and temple dancing to Renaissance paintings and oratorios, many faith traditions use arts as inspiration for worship. Others regard them as distractions and idolatry, and use rhythm, patterns and silence. Tell us about the arts in your faith and bring an example (pictures, recordings etc).

It is lovely that so many people look at Sheffield Interfaith website and that many of you take up invitations to online events. Unfortunately some people have not managed to attend a meeting because they have not received the link.

Please note who is organising the meeting you wish to attend and email the correct address. Only if it is a Sheffield Interfaith event will we send you the link. This is for the security of members of our different faith and interfaith groups.

For example the Iftar evening on April 20th is organised by The Dialogue Society, so contact sheffield@dialoguesociety.org to receive the link

Other recent meetings have been arranged by shirleyhouseinterfaith@gmail.com

we hope you enjoy these interesting and varied gatherings.

The Dialogue Society, Sheffield, kindly invites you to our online Ramadan Iftar event on Tuesday, 20^th April 2021. It would be a great pleasure for us to have you online for this event. 
The month of Ramadan is a special time of the year for us and we would like to share the spirit of this great moment with you. Normally, we would celebrate Ramadan by organising Iftar dinner events and having people over for dinners at our houses. Obviously, we cannot do that yet. However, with the hope that the next Ramadan will be different, we still would like to celebrate the month of Ramadan and we would be honoured to transmit the spirit of this moment of peace, fellowship and truth with yourselves through an online event. We hope that Ramadan in general and this event in particular will give us the opportunity to rekindle the community spirit.
The event will be streamed on the Zoom app on Tuesday, 20th April from 6.30 pm to 8 pm the latest. We will entertain speakers, present some visual contents and a traditional Turkish dessert recipe. The guest speaker at this event will be Dr Chris Hewer and he will talk about Ramadan and Fasting. We will also have a Kahoot quiz. All you need to do is have a second device on hand in order to take part in the quiz.
We would be delighted to have you at the event. I am attaching the invitation card for the details of the event. You may also forward this invitation to whoever you might think could be interested. We are looking forward to seeing you at the virtual event.

Sheffield Interfaith does not publicise meeting links on the website; therefore to obtain the link please contact sheffield@dialoguesociety.org to request it.
