The Three Faiths Forum and Inter Faith Week 2010
Inter Faith Week will run from Sunday 21st to Saturday 27th November 2010 with events taking place nationwide. Rachel Heilbron, who grew up in RSY-Netzer and the Reform Movement is Deputy Director of the Three Faiths Forum. Here she introduces the work of the organisation and explains how you can get involved.
"The Three Faiths Forum (3ff) is one of the leading interfaith organisations in the UK. We were set up to bring together Muslims, Christians and Jews, and now work with a wide variety of people of different traditions and ages.
3ff has always enjoyed a close relationship with the Movement for Reform Judaism. It was founded in 1997 by Sir Sigmund Sternberg with the late Sheikh Dr. Zaki Badawi and the Reverend Dr. Marcus Braybrooke.
During a visit to the interfaith hub at Star House in Kentish Town you will be met by Jews, Christians and Muslims, as well as by people of different faith and non-religious backgrounds.
3ff aims to build lasting relationships between people of different faiths (and those of non-religious beliefs). Through our programmes with young people and adults we hope to encourage friendship, goodwill and understanding, especially between Muslims, Christians and Jews.
We work in schools, universities and wider society, giving people the knowledge and skills to challenge stereotypes and misconceptions, communicate effectively and build new relationships with people from all cultural and religious backgrounds.
As part of Inter Faith Week, the Three Faiths Forum brings you a vibrant contemporary arts festival celebrating inter-cultural friendship and collaboration. Bringing together a wide range of both interfaith and single faith organisations, and featuring everything from an exciting opening night with live music and performances to workshops and dialogue during the week, the festival will take place at Candid Arts Gallery in Angel, North London.
There are numerous ways you could help support our cause and contribute to the movement towards a society built on cooperation between different cultures. We need volunteer presenters, interns to help us run our programmes, or financial support from those who believe in our aims. Your help could make a real difference.
Visit the Three Faiths Forum website to get involved."
