The focus is on an increased understanding and friendship between Judaism, Christianity and Islam. All who wish to learn more about the beliefs and practices of these three faiths are welcome.
We are able to subsidise student places, so we encourage students to apply for a reduced rate.Towards the end of our time together, over the weekend of 5th-7th April we will be linking into the regular worship with local Abrahamic faith groups.

Sat06Apr20192:30pm - 4:30pmRuddock Performing Arts Centre King Edward's School & King Edward VI High School Edgbaston Park Road Edgbaston Birmingham B15 2UA
This fascinating lecture was held in Rugby in October 2017 is being repeated in Birmingham. The lecturer is Dr Priya Atwal (PhD in History at the University of Oxford), who speaks about her research on Sikh History. For the Rugby event all ticket sales went to 'Unite in Virtue' – a charitable organisation which helps those in need and holds a weekly food bank in Birmingham. In doing so we raised ~£600 to help sustain the Food Banks.
The Sikh community are organising a similar event with the same lecturer (Dr Priya Atwal) who will give a talk/presentation about Women in the Sikh Empire in the 19th and 20th centuries. It will take place in Birmingham at the Ruddock Performing Arts Centre. Tickets, (£5:00) can be purchased on-line here
The goal of this fundraiser is to achieve £1000 to go direct to 'Unite in Virtue' in order to start two new Food Banks, one in Coventry and a new one in Leicester. The money will help volunteers buy food, an urn for hot drinks, tables, paper/polystyrene cups, plastic cutlery, plastic containers etc on a weekly/monthly basis.
To help this event flourish and succeed to its maximum potential, please would you help to publicise and advertise this event by passing on the leaflet that can be downloaded here.
Thank you.
