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.
In 2020 there was a Virtual Lambeth Country Show
on 18 and 19 July.
See the FTiL message .
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

Since 2015, local authorities have had a legal duty to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism.
This is known as the ‘Prevent Duty’. There has been uncertainty among parents and communities about what it entails.
These events were a series that Faiths Together in Lambeth ran over an eight month period
to provide opportunities to engage about Prevent with the staff delivering it in the borough.
Rupert Sutton (Prevent Programme Manager) and Lydia Nixon (Prevent Education Officer) made short presentations
and then attendees asked questions about Prevent and discussed their concerns.
