World Interfaith Harmony Week

Some of you may know that the UN has declared their support for a World Interfaith Harmony Week the first week of February.

We know that many of our members always contribute massively to the UK Interfaith week in the autumn, but this is such a good idea shared by many different nations, your executive feel it would be a real shame to let it pass us by.

So, can you see if you could invite a friend or two of a different faith tradition than your own to either breakfast, lunch or dinner during that first week of February and perhaps share something from your different faiths over the meal…and maybe even tell them something of the work we in the World Congress do and persuade them to join us!

Please do write and tell us about the meal, and perhaps send us a photo for our web-page.

I have registered out interest and support for this week with the World Interfaith Harmony organisation and I look forward to hearing about your shared meals/

15 women from in and around Hounslow belonging to different faith communities got together on 5th February from 11 am to 3pm at a local community hall. The session started off with a prayer and the flower ceremony, each one placing a flower in a bowl of water as a symbol of unity and harmony. Then they shared their experiences of their own faith and their contributions to the local Interfaith work. I also shared with them the Secretary General’s message which was well received. The presentations and the emerging conversations concentrated around light, life and togetherness, a deep partaking of spiritual food which was truly inspirational.



No interfaith event is complete without the celebration of food. A good mix of vegetarian spread was thoroughly enjoyed by all, a grand occasion in every sense of the World Interfaith Harmony Week.
