Wisbech Interfaith

Wisbech Interfaith Forum

I am on the committe of the Wisbech Interfaith Forum, which brings together those of all faiths and none in order to encourage mutual understanding and support. I have also taken photographs and recorded videos of some of the Forum's events.

Interfaith Week 2015

This event involved school students and adults.

 

At the United Reformed Church on 5 November there was an exhibition of Islamic art (supplied by the Husaini Islamic Centre in Peterborough), to which I added examples showing the influence of Arab punch-cutters on European printing from the 16th century onwards.

 

There was a talk about Sikhism with a concert, part of which I recorded on video. There were also talks on Hinduism and Theosophy and a display about various faiths. This display was moved to St Peter's Church Hall on 6 November.
