Dara Sheffield Uni screening poster Feb 20
Picture credit – Ellie KurttzDara, staged jointly by the National Theatre, London and the Ajoka Theatre, Pakistan, is the epic tale of the 17th-century prince Dara Shikoh and his brother and nemesis Aurangzeb, whose dispute played a key role in shaping the history of modern-day India and Pakistan, and addresses historic debates around religious freedom and practice. It stimulates discussion on issues of culture, history and religious tolerance.

Theatre and Anwar Akhtar production consultant to the Ajoka Theatre Pakistan and the National Theatre.

Film Night at Shirley House Interfaith Centre- February 14th
If you don’t want to share an overpriced ‘romantic’ evening with anybody, why not come to Shirley House for a comedy film instead?
The Band’s Visit
A fading Egyptian band arrives in Israel to play at an Arab Cultural Centre. They take the wrong bus and have to spend the night with the locals in a desolate Israeli village. The two cultures realise the universal bonds of love, music and life. Set against a breathtaking desert landscape, this cross-cultural comedy proves getting lost may be the way to find yourself. The film (2007) has won 35 international awards.
Open to all faiths and everybody

Sheffield Interfaith Walk in Interfaith week November 2016
It was, we agreed, not a pub crawl but a tea crawl. The 2016 Sheffield Interfaith Walk, that is. We started at the A’Mediyya Mosque, where there was a talk about this progressive branch of Islam and hot drinks & biscuits were served. Next was the Sikh Gurdwara, where we discovered that roles are not gender-specific – “at least not in the Gurdwara!” the lady joked. Tea and snacks were served then we went on to a Roman Catholic church that is so popular with local immigrant communities that they cannot accommodate any more events. The church had been warned that we would not need refreshments so we had a look round and went straight to the Islam Community Centre where, yes, we had a sumptuous spread.
As well as old friends from Interfaith activity; I was pleased to see new faces – including some students who had found the event on the inter-webby!

My Jewish Faith Journey – Shirley House Interfaith Centre, 31st January
My Jewish Faith Journey
Judaism is both a religion and a ‘race’. Both Christianity and Islam arose from the Jewish faith, but how much do most of us know about the Jewish way of life and belief? Hearing Irenie Zelickmann’s personal story will bring it to life.
Open to all faiths and everybody
Refreshments included

Food and Friendship in 2017
Food and Friendship
Happy New Year to all. It seems a long time since we gathered to share a meal, so let’s come and renew our friendships, and make some new ones. If you are able, please bring some food suitable for people from different faiths and cultures, and/or food typical of your own faith or culture; but come anyway. The world needs more interfaith friendships, perhaps especially now.
We welcome everybody who would like to come

Christmas wishes to all from the Muslim Council of Great Britain
Ahead of the Christmas holidays, the Muslim Council of Britain issued two simple Christmas greetings, ‘Keep Calm It’s Christmas’ and ‘Don’t Panic, Christmas is not Banned’.
The posters were a playful nod at the ‘Keep Calm, And Carry on On’ posters.
The message emphasised that some Muslims will join in those celebrations, remembering too that Jesus was an important Prophet of Islam. Others will not join.
But very few Muslims will be offended at the celebrations taking place, and no one should be obliged to change their celebrations at risk of offending Muslims.
Our message has gone viral on Twitter and Facebook and was reported, amongst others, in the Guardian and the Huffington Post.
Dr Shuja Shafi of the Muslim Council of Britain, presented the message to the Dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral alongside a delegation of Muslims offering Christmas greetings to Christian leaders.
