SR is now practiced globally including in places affected by ‐related tensions and conflict. Free Booking essential: http://bit.ly/1NXBpXL

Short description of event: "Year 9 were privileged to receive a visit from three local religious representatives. The girls were given the chance to ask any religious, moral, ethical or philosophical from Mike, Jason and Sharon. Questions ranged from opinions on how religious people should be reacting to the refugee crisis to what makes their faiths so important to them. The girls learned about religious practice as well as how beliefs from holy books are shaped to fit the modern context. They were beautiful listeners and challenged both themselves and our faith panel with insightful curiosity."

Short description of event: In these turbulent times of unrest across the world politics and religion seem to be at the centre of much of what is happening. We mostly hear of a failure by both to deal adequately with these situations and indeed they are often cited as the cause. So a question arises: Is it possible for people from across faith traditions to work together in ways which can have a positive influence on politics. Can interfaith action perhaps an "alliance of faith" bring about a greater effect on political will than acting alone?

A Discussion Workshop led by Dr Michael Marett‐Crosby (PA to Myanmar Oppostion Leader Aung San Suu Ky). He will be offering a morning reflecting on his experiences of working in an inter faith context in the difficult environment of Myanmar. Ending with lunch at 1pm.

Name of Event: Multi‐faith chaplaincy day Organisation(s) holding the event: Preston Faith Forum Lancashire Police

Short description of event: The event will bring together those involved in chaplaincy from the areas of police prison and hospital together with those involved in wider faith‐based chaplaincy. We want the day to be an occasion for individual development of chaplains around issues of diversity equality and well‐being allowing for discussion around the evolving understanding of chaplaincy work as a multi faith service. Also we hope that by bringing chaplains together from different areas the sharing of experiences will strengthen / create connections which will continue after the event. Finally we hope that discussion around the needs of individuals will lead to ideas for joining up of chaplaincy support beyond the boundaries of particular services and even of how chaplains might be involved more pro‐actively in front‐line situations.

Name of Event: Greenshaw High School Inter Faith Debate Organisation(s) holding the event: Sutton Faith and Belief Forum Greenshaw High School Sutton Grammar School Sutton High School Short description of event: Year 10 students from Greenshaw High, Sutton Grammar, and Sutton High attended an interfaith panel organised through the Sutton Faith and Belief forum. Students generated questions around religious, philosophical and ethical ideas which they then posed to representatives from the Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Hindu faiths. Chaired by Mr House students then responded with critical reflections on the stances of some faiths on topical issues such as free will, sexuality, and terrorism. The outstanding commitment of the students created an atmosphere of tolerance and acceptance which facilitated curiosity and learning promoting mutual understanding and recognising common values.

It was in October 1965 that the Catholic Church published its declaration on its relations with other faiths Nostra Aetate ‐ In Our Time.

Jane, who is an Anglican with many years of experience of inter faith relations and education, will reflect on the changes in hearts and minds that have followed from it.

Name of Event: Interfaith Gathering ‐ Peoples' March for Climate Organisation(s) holding the event: World Jewish Relief Christian Aid Islamic Relief Quakers in Britain CAFOD Short description of event: Join people of all faiths for a short event before we join together for the People's March for Climate Justice and Jobs. Floods typhoons and droughts are already impacting many millions of people both here and abroad. This humanitarian crisis affects those who have done least to create the problem the most and left unchecked would affect us all. Each of our great faith traditions speaks to the need to protect our planet. Jewish tradition teaches: When God created Adam God took him and warned Adam about all the trees in the Garden of Eden saying: See My works see how beautiful and perfect they are and all I created I created for you. Beware lest you spoil and destroy my world for if you will spoil it there is no one to repair it after you. (Ecclesiastes Rabbah And from within the Islamic tradion we our taught that: "Corruption has flourished on land and sea as a result of people's actions and He will make them taste the consequences of some of their own actions so that they may turn back." (Qur'an Chapter 30 Verse 41) Christians often look to the Psalms including Psalm 24 which begins: The earth is the Lord's and everything in it assuring us that creaon is Gd's gift to us it is not an entitlement or something we can abuse. Climate change was the theme of the Pope's most recent encyclical Ahead of the rally we're bringing together people of faith from all over the UK to reflect on our faiths' teachings with contributions from those affected by climate change. We will then walk together as a faith 'bloc' to join the rally. There is no charge.
