Today marks Day 8 of Scottish Interfaith Week, an annual festival uniting people of all faiths and none across the nation.

Interfaith Sunday Service: Unity in the Community
We invite people from all faiths and none to join us for an Interfaith Sunday Service at Viewfield Parish Church in Stirling.
“Every year I love to organise an interfaith service on the last day of interfaith week. This year our guest speaker is Frances Hume from Interfaith Scotland. Due to the war between Israel and Hamas, I have also invited a Muslim and Jewish representative of their community to attend and pray for world peace, and religious harmony in the middle of conflicts. After the Sunday Service we are hoping to have lunch together at the church hall and learn Scottish dances and Bollywood dances.” – Rev Peter Gill, event organiser
Time: 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Place: Viewfield Parish Church Viewfield Parish Church, 88 Viewfield Place, Stirling

Mapping Out Glasgow’s Faith Communities: Family Activity
This family drop-in workshop celebrates Scottish Interfaith Week by exploring the different places of worship and sacred spaces across the city.
“Our event will offer a none threatening way for people to informally learn about and map the diverse places of worship in Glasgow across the faith traditions. Everyone will be welcome and encouraged to participate in so much as they are comfortable. People will be able to choose from different images of places of workshop or different faith symbols to map their locations on our large wall collage. We hope people will be able to map and share and discuss their own places of worship and /or sacred spaces with each other.” – Harry Dunlop, Curator
