Reflections from national faith communities and their leaders 2022
Reflections from national faith communities and their leaders in the context of Inter Faith Week 2022
#InterFaithWeek reminds us of the vital importance of religious literacy. The command of Jesus to love our neighbour requires that we know something of the beliefs of others. Religious literacy can help us live together well across difference. @ifnetuk @luhc

Faith in God fashions who we are. It deepens the motivation to serve. It helps us understand that whatever strength & resources we possess are best used when we work together for the common good. Building a just society recognises the inherent dignity of all. #InterFaithWeek pic.twitter.com/WewSewa6q6

Having attended the Abu Dhabi Forum for Peace last week, I am conscious of the potency of people of faith joining together in a spirit of friendship. This #InterFaithWeek let us ensure that we continue to harness the power of interfaith engagement whenever the opportunity arises. pic.twitter.com/Bsf7svEtQK

It's #InterFaithWeek. In my work for @BritishQuakers I've learnt so much from other faiths. The faith voice in the public square really matters - faith communities can often be the only people to speak about love in public. Policy, politics, communities all need love! @IFWeek

As we celebrate National #InterFaithWeek in the UK, we remember HH #PramukhSwami’s timeless message at the @UN Millennium World Peace Summit in New York City in 2000: “Religion is that which fosters mutual love... Flourishing together is the secret of peace.” @IFNetUK pic.twitter.com/Ikji7uRA1Y

Lack of Religious Literacy often leads to lack of trust and misunderstanding between communities. #InterfaithWeek celebrates the amazing work people of all faiths & beliefs do, throughout the year, to tackle misinformation and enable a more inclusive society. @IFWeek pic.twitter.com/HEzPmS1Igd
