Living with respect and confidence with people of other faiths – an exploration for Christians.

An increasing number of us live and work in settings where we are in contact with people of other faiths – in the canteen, at the school gate, as team colleagues. Through these experiences and friendships, we may find ourselves reflecting on our understanding of our own faith. Our own certainties or understandings may well be challenged, and we may find that questions arise for us about the nature of God or the person of Jesus.

We may sometimes therefore want to explore the following thoughts:

How can we live and talk with our neighbours of other faiths with sensitivity, respect and confidence?

What are the commonalities and differences between faiths?

How can my own faith be enriched by engaging with my neighbour’s faith? Can it sometimes also feel challenged?

These are some of the questions we shall be considering together during the three one and half hour evening sessions from 7.30-9.00pm at UTU,  led by Rev Gareth Jones. 
Dates are   Tues 11th Feb, Tues 3rd March,  Tues 31st March 

As we will be sharing together we ask that people come for the whole series, and there will be a fixed number in the group. 

Booking: Cost £36 and £25 for low waged and members for all three sessions
 Details in the New Year, but please reply to office@utusheffield.org.uk to reserve a place

STATEMENT FOLLOWING ATTACK AT LONDON BRIDGE from the Co-Chairs and Faith Communities Forum Moderators of the Inter Faith Network for the UK

Statement following attack at London Bridge


Our thoughts and prayers are with all affected by the terrorist stabbing attack at London Bridge on Friday afternoon in which two were killed by the attacker and several injured. 
 
We condemn, in the strongest terms, terrorism and the extremist ideologies that underpin it and we call on all to stand together and speak out in the strongest terms against them.
 
With each terrorist attack in recent years, there has been horror and anger at the atrocity; condemnation; prayers and sympathies for those killed or injured; admiration for courage and resilience displayed; and a call to ‘stand together’.  And where terrorists or extremists have drawn selectively on religious writings and history, there has been disavowal by faith communities of this evil twisting of elements of their traditions into distorted and dangerous forms to justify the unjustifiable.  
 
It is a matter of profound sadness and concern that voices of faith communities have to be heard again and again in the context of responses to terrorist attacks and also hate crime. There are so many important social justice issues on which their voices need to be heard as well as broader issues such about how we live together well as people of different faiths and beliefs in the UK. 
 
Yet we cannot remain silent in the face of terrible actions, with their impacts both on those directly affected and on our society more generally. We end, as we began, with thoughts and prayers for those killed, injured, bereaved and otherwise affected by the attack on Friday and a call to all to come together to stand together in the face of terrorism and to speak out in the strongest terms against it and against the extremist ideologies that underpin it.
  The Inter Faith Network Co-Chairs and Faith Communities Forum Moderators
