We are one of growing number of Interfaith Forums and Groups springing up throughout the UK.
Our base in South Shropshire encompasses Ludlow, Craven Arms, Church Stretton and Bishops Castle and many smaller towns and villages in the surrounding area.
An opportunity to meet and hear from people of other faiths (and none) living in the South Shropshire Area.
We are keen to promote interfaith dialogue which doesn’t seek to change others but listens with respect in an attempt to understand and promote a more harmonious and fair community.
A few years ago South Shropshire Inter Faith observed Holocaust Memorial Day with the theme - Be a light in the darkness. Chanukah celebrates the light that kept burning at the re-dedication Second Temple for eight days, though the oil was only sufficient for one day. The awful attacks on the Jewish community at Bondi Beach calls all people to be a light in the darkness of violence in our world. We offer our prayers for those who mourn and we stand with all who bring light and hope in the face of hatred.
