Scottish Interfaith Week runs from 12 until 19 November and the Edinburgh Napier Interfaith Network is taking part. Created by Interfaith Scotland, the week invites people from a faith background, or interest in faith, to get together during events and share their vision of faith. The theme this year is “Community” and supports the dialogue between diverse religious communities.
The Edinburgh Napier Interfaith Network recognises the diversity and richness of the faith communities and the contribution they make across the University. We respect and celebrate all faiths and encourage open dialogue about what we believe, so that everyone feels empowered to bring the whole of themselves to work and to enhance the understanding around the University of different faiths.
The Interfaith Staff Network aims to be inclusive, provide a sense of belonging and to encourage co-operation and understanding different faiths and empower members to share and express their faith and beliefs in the workplace. The Network will also be a point of contact and information, along with the Chaplaincy, for the University on faith matters to increase understanding. The network if open to members of staff of all faiths and none.
You are also invited to come along for a chat and meet our Chaplains at our weekly drop-ins. Chaplains will be on campus at a weekly drop-in session at the Student Centre, Merchiston (Room 5) on Thursdays 1pm to 5pm. Find out more here.
