“In the times we live in, it has never been more important for us to come together — not just to talk, but to work and serve side by side. Inter Faith Week is about recognising our shared humanity and building bridges of understanding across all communities.”
Everyone is warmly welcome to attend any of the events, whether of faith or no faith.
Rev. Steve Holt, Chair of TCfR, added:
“This year’s Multi-Faith Remembrance Service is especially meaningful as we mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. It’s a time to remember, reflect, and show that we have far more in common than what divides us.”Rachael Phillips, Chair of the Lincolnshire Jewish Community, said:
“Working together through Interfaith is more important today than ever. Initiatives like the Taste of Unity Kitchen show the power of understanding and shared compassion.”Abdul Nasir Siddiqui, from Active Muslim Nation, added:
“Inter Faith Week reminds us that our faiths call us to compassion, service, and respect. Standing together across traditions makes our communities stronger and more united.”Sanjay Nimavat, Chair of the Lincolnshire Faith Council, said:
“We’re really looking forward to Inter Faith Week. Under TCfR’s leadership, there are many opportunities for people of all faiths to come together and live out the shared values that unite us.”
