What is Inter Faith Week?
Inter Faith Week is an internationally recognised awareness week that takes place in mid-November of every year. This year it falls on the 10-17 November. It is a time to recognise and celebrate different faiths in the workplace and wider community, where different religious groups can come together to learn about each other and celebrate their cultures together.
What’s happening at Loughborough?
Interfaith Panel Discussion
Led by Professor Kristin Aune
Tuesday 12 November, 5:30pm-8pm, Edward Herbert Building Atrium
Linked to Chaplaincy’s Autumn programme of workshops and events inspired by research from the Doctoral College HOME CDT, join us during Interfaith Week, for an evening of food and conversations. With the help of members of a multi-faith panel, including Loughborough academics, students, and local and national representatives of different faiths, we will explore how our faith can help us understand the concept of making, creating, and feeling at HOME.
A portion of the ticket sales for this event will support the work of St Phillip’s Centre, Leicester, a centre of excellence in local, regional, and national interfaith work. In a divided world, St Phillip’s helps communities learn how to live well together.
Schedule as follows:
5.30pm – Gather for drinks and networking
6pm – Panel discussion, followed by a shared meal and conversation
8pm – Finish
Tickets cost £8 (£3 of your ticket will be donated to our chosen charity). Purchase your ticket.
