ABOUT THE INTER FAITH WEEK
WHEN IS IT?
Inter Faith Week 2018 will take place from Sunday 11 – Sunday 18 November.
Inter Faith Week will usually begin on Remembrance Sunday, and run until the following Sunday. It is hoped that the additional Sunday will provide the opportunity for other weekend events to take place as well as those linked to Remembrance Sunday, this year the centenary anniversary of Armistice Day.
WHAT IS IT?
Inter Faith Week:

WHY ARE WE GETTING INVOLVED?
Building good relationships and working partnerships between people of different faiths and beliefs is part of the year-round work of many people and organisations across the UK.
Having a special Week provides a focal point, helping to open inter faith activity up to a wider audience so that more and more people are made aware of the importance of this vital work and are able to participate in it.
More details on the MCVC activities will follow shortly… watch this space!
