Interfaith week starts tomorrow. It provides a common focal point for strengthening interfaith relations and increasing awareness of the diverse faith communities across the UK. You can read more about it here. The Revd Dr Kevin Snyman, the URC’s Head of World Justice and Interfaith Relations, writes: Our calling in the URC is to share love and build friendships with people – of all faiths and none. Interfaith Week offers an opportunity to share God’s love, learn from our neighbours, strengthen community ties, and work together for the common good. Everyone can take part: share a meal; attend an event; share a smile to say, ‘You are welcome here.’
Kevin offers this prayer for public and private use:
God of light and love, guide us as we meet people of all faiths this week. Open our hearts to understanding, our hands to service, and our lives to your peace. Amen.
With every good wish
Andy
The Rev’d Andy Braunston Minister for Digital Worship
