Cambridge Interfaith Programme

 

During November’s Inter-faith Week, the Cambridge Inter-faith Programme brought Scriptural Reasoning to London’s British Museum’s in partnership with its critically-acclaimed exhibition, ‘Egypt: faith after the Pharaohs’.

During two SR workshops, participants explored sacred Christian, Muslim, and Jewish texts in the company of members of each tradition, generating discussions that were imaginative and insightful. Both workshops were very well attended, and the experience proved a wonderful opportunity to meet a diverse range of people interested in inter-faith encounters from London and beyond.

It was fantastic to work with the British Museum on such a pioneering project, and we look forward to bringing Scriptural Reasoning to London again in the near future. Meanwhile keep an eye on our website and social media pages for news of an upcoming Cambridge event with the exhibition’s curator.
