other faiths
My extended family follow other faiths which gives me a valuable insight into the importance of interfaith dialogue and religious freedom.
And we are seeing people of other faiths become Christians.
cultivate intercultural churches in the diverse communities of the UK, including seeing people of other faiths become Christians
We need a Church confident enough in the uniqueness of Christ to engage generously and respectfully with people of other faiths.
Since 2021 I have been a parish priest in Sparkhill and Sparkbrook: two wonderful but deprived parishes, serving areas reputed to contain the highest proportion of people of other faiths anywhere in the Church of England.
In Salford I work daily with people of other faiths and none.
Welcomes people of faith, fragile faith, other faiths or no faith, creating opportunities for them to encounter the living God, discover the hope of Christ and learn what it means to follow Jesus.
Whether I am speaking with Christians, people of other faiths, or those with no faith at all, I have found that genuine relationships open doors for meaningful conversations about God.
I read Theology-and- Religious-Studies at the University of Bristol, 1995-98, where I learned about Christian history and other faiths, graduating with a 2/1.
I have a long and significant interest in Islam and Judaism, which has helped me understand other faiths, communicating Christian truth sensitively and contextually, whilst also working together on issues of common interest.
We need to invest in helping those from other faiths
This extends to Christians of all denominations and siblings of other faiths and none. ● For me the Church of England is an important and rich tradition with great potential for serving those most in need, inspired by the grace of Christ.
It has also taught me that parish ministry is civic ministry: working with schools, local authorities, the NHS, community organisations, other churches and people of other faiths for the flourishing of our communities.
We pray for peace, people of other religions pray for peace, and perhaps exploring and celebrating what we can share with people of other faiths is a good basis, not just for trying to build a coherent society, but even for a debate about the differences between religions.
If elected I would also be keen to be involved in conversations around how we continue to work alongside neighbours of other faiths, particularly as we see more polarisation and the rise of islamophobia and antisemitism.
