Welcome!
Our next event: Faith and the Environment Wednesday 2 July.
For many years the Muslim and Christian communities (and, indeed, other faith groups) have lived "in parallel" in Moseley.
In September 2001 neighbourly links were forged between senior members of the Hamza Mosque and a group of Christian Ministers (Anglican, Methodist, Roman Catholic and, later, United Reformed), first on an informal basis and then as Moseley Inter Faith Group, meeting at the Moseley Community Development Trust.
Gradually the Group has expanded to include representatives of the Baha'i, Buddhist, Hindu and Jewish faiths.
Our activities have included:
- Joint meetings on themes such as Pilgrimage, Fasting,Charity and Renewal
- Invitations to each other's worship centres
- Visits to other Inter Faith groups
- Participation in the Moseley Festival
- Inter Faith Café evenings
Our programme has focussed on getting to know one another and on understanding each other's faith better.
In establishing these friendly relations we hope and believe we are making a small but significant contribution to the general wellbeing of Moseley and the wider city.
Since its inception, Moseley Inter Faith Group has operated on the basis of fairly rudimentary "Terms of Reference". The Group has decided it is now time to adopt an explicit constitution to guide its progress and this is currently in hand.
