Statement from the Interfaith Network following the attack in Wesminster
Westminster attacks – Statement from the Co-Chairs of the Inter Faith Network for the UK and Moderators of the IFN Faith Communities Forum
Yesterday’s attack at Westminster on police and members of the public exemplified the cowardly and destructive nature of the actions of terrorists. We hold in our prayers all whose lives have been lost or forever changed through the murderous acts of its perpetrator.
Terrorism is profoundly at odds with the values of our faith traditions and of the values at the heart of British society. We deplore and condemn it.
Attacks of this kind are designed to disrupt our society and to undermine the relationships within it. Let us resist this at all costs and stand together in unity.
Let us also watch out for the wellbeing of any groups who may be targeted because of terrorist actions which claim, or are perceived by some, as having a link to them. There is no place for prejudice and hatred of that kind and where it is found, let us redouble efforts to combat it.

Food & Friendship THIS Tuesday 7th March at Shirley House
Apologies for the late posting
Food and Friendship
are two needs all humans share. There are many ways of making both. Sharing a meal of food from our various traditions builds friendships that cross divides and gives opportunities to learn about each other. If you are able, please bring some food to share, if not, come and enjoy the contributions from others. If you feel shy, bring a friend.
We welcome everybody who would like to come

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.

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!
