If you'd like to support the Week and its aims but don't have an activity planned, why not post a short message about the importance of inter faith dialogue and cooperation, with the hashtag #interfaithweeek or reach out for a conversation with a friend of colleague of a different faith or non-religious belief?

We visited Wormwood Scrubs Prison to celebrate Diwali/Bandi Chorr Diwas with Sikh prisoners by taking part in Simran, Chaupai Sahib and distributing mithai.
Great to see first hand the excellent work that the Sikh Chaplaincy do with Sikh prisoners throughout UK.

#PrisonsWeek#PrisonsWeek2023#Prayer
Prisons Week is led by the simple belief that
“If #prayer truly works, if our weak human rambling to God actually changes things, then we must call #believing people to pray, & together we must pray for #change where change is needed most.”
Are you joining us next week?
Quote from my daily reading …. ‘Jesus calls me to do for others only what He has already done for me. Generous hospitality is right at the heart of what it means to be a Christian. I don’t get to choose my neighbour, but I do get to choose how I treat them’
