This year the breakfast gathering took place on Zoom, 9am - 11am, Thursday 4th February.

After Saleha welcomed us, Simi prayed, remembering last year,

and God's Love Wins (artwork by Bethany Lock) was screen shared.

Two of our local Members of Parliament took part, along with representatives of Lambeth Council, Lambeth and Southwark Police, and the South-East London NHS Clinical Commissioning Group. The issue of Covid vaccination hesitancy was addressed head on.

The running order is here and the video recording is here.

The webinar took place on Monday 9th November at 6.30pm. You can see the video here.

Learning about one another

One of the important aims of the Inter Faith Walks has been to provide opportunities for learning about the centres that are visited and thus to help reduce prejudice and negative stereotypes.

You can view the resulting video here.

Interfaith Harmony Breakfast on 6th February 2020

FTiL continued its tradition of marking the UN's interfaith harmony week with a Thursday breakfast, this time at Streatham Mosque. Around 70 people attended. The event took on greater significance as a show of unity after the incident in Streatham High Street on Sunday 2nd February.

 At the beginning, Imam Mumtaz recited verses from the Holy Qur'an and

then the Bishop of Southwark shared words he had spoken in the House of Lords.

Bell Ribeiro-Addy, MP for Streatham since 12th December, spoke at the breakfast 

Phillipe Cotgreave de Rahman introduced prayers offered by members of South London Inter Faith Group. 

At the breakfast, Dan May-Miller of Streatham Baptist Church publicised the Streatham Stands Together events taking place two days later

which included a visit by Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London.

Afterwards, Rabbi Nathan Godleman wrote his Thought for the Week for South London Liberal Synagoge
