Inter Faith Relations event at the Methodist Conference

Those who were fortunate enough to attend the Inter Faith Relations fringe event during the Methodist Conference experienced a wonderful evening. It was organised by the Inter Faith Relations Office at Methodist Church House. After a welcome by myself as Inter Faith Relations Officer, Gareth Jones, the Inter Faith Relations Director of the West Midlands Faith Forum who had supported me in the organisation of the event, introduced the four speakers and chaired the evening. Those present then listened to reflections on Inter Faith Relations in the 21st century from the perspectives of the Buddhism, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh faiths.

Erik Pearse, Treasurer, Wolverhampton Inter-Faith Council, commented in an e-mail: ‘I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the meeting on Monday and how interesting and well-organised it was. A joy to hear four feminine perspectives, each so very different in their approach. Many thanks again for a most interesting evening’.
