The Towers Inn (in the private family room), 636 Walsall Road, Great Barr, Birmingham, B42 1EY. 11.00 – 15.00
We're hosting our second Interfaith moot this November!
The aim of this moot is to bring people together from different faiths. To share knowledge and experience. To understand and celebrate each other. To form friendships. To promote the fact that there's more that joins us than that separates us.
This year the moot will be held in a coffee morning style and we're aiming to raise funds for Macmillan's Coffee Morning charity. We'll be hosting a Q&A session and also doing a fun quiz. There'll be time to mingle and chat and everyone is welcome to join us for lunch afterwards (dietary needs are catered for).
The meeting will take place in the family room at The Towers from 11:00am until approx. 3:00pm. This is a private space inside the pub where we can chat in a safe environment. The room is accessible for anyone with mobility issues.
The event is free but you'll need to book your space via our Facebook group as there's limited capacity. Please only book a ticket if you're definitely attending this event.
We'd love to get people from as many faiths as possible to attend.…
