Interfaith Focus week: Connecting through dialogue

 

In November 2025 we held Inter Faith Focus Week: Connecting Through Dialogue, which ran concurrently to Inter Faith Week. During the week, we published a series of blogs, short films and a research and resource spotlight. 

The content here will be of interest to teachers, educators, community partners, researchers, and anyone interested in interfaith work more generally.  

Everything shared during the week is now available on this page. 

We published the following blogs: 

Help! It’s Inter Faith Week, what can I do? Let me tell you a story, Anne Moseley, research supervisor at Oxford Centre for Mission Studies founder and creator of the Story Tent project in partnership with Rose Castle Foundation.

Research spotlight

Theos Beyond the Classroom Report: Informal Religion and Worldviews Education in the UK

 

The ‘Beyond the Classroom’ report from Theos, supported by Culham St Gabriel’s, explores where informal religious education happens across the UK; where are the places and spaces where people of all ages, in all kinds of communities, learn about and encounter other religions, belief systems and worldviews?

Our Research Spotlight can be found here. 

We also shared a series of short films, available below and on our YouTube channel.

Curiosity, conversation, connection: Jewish and Muslim women in dialogue

 

This short film explores how friendship and honest conversation can build understanding across different worldviews. Laura Marks and Nighat Qureishi reflect on their experiences as a Jewish woman and a Muslim woman living in London. They share what their traditions have in common, how they navigate differences – including around complex global issues – and why curiosity, listening and empathy matter so much.

Cumberland Lodge: Young voices, big questions and the power of conversation

 

This short film highlights how Cumberland Lodge brings diverse young people together to think deeply about freedom of religion or belief and how we live well with difference. Using images like the iceberg of identity and a spider’s web of relationships, Cumberland Lodge uses structured conversations to help young people feel understood, challenge assumptions and imagine the kind of world they want to help create.

 

Humanism in Chaplaincy: Supporting Students through a Humanist Lens

 

In this video, Jacqueline Watson, a university chaplain, reflects on her Humanist worldview and how it informs her role in supporting students and fostering inclusion on campus. Her story offers an authentic perspective on what dialogue looks like in practice – reminding us that interfaith and belief engagement is not only about faith, but about shared humanity.
