Being well informed both theologically and practically about how best to go about this will help us engage with others sensitively whilst ensuring that we continue to be faithful to our calling as ministers of the gospel.
Interfaith Week 2026
Interfaith Week offers a valuable opportunity to focus on the diversity of faith communities within our society and to build relationships based on mutual respect, understanding, and peace. As Christians, we are called to love our neighbours and to recognise the dignity and worth of every person as someone created in the image of God.
Read more about this in a blog post here.
We also have a range of prayers, resources, events and information that we encourage you to engage with during Interfaith Week and beyond.
