FOREST ROW INTERFAITH MINISTRY

We are a group of ordained Interfaith Ministers living in or near Forest Row and dedicated to serving  the spiritual needs of the people of this area whatever their faith.

We were trained and ordained by the One Spirit Interfaith Foundation UK. Our studies included opening to the essential and common truths of the major faiths of the world, creating sacred ceremonies and spiritual counselling.

 

Our Aims:

o To support people in connecting to their own inner truth and light.

o To develop understanding and friendship between people of different faiths in our community.

o To deepen our personal relationship with the Divine .

o To be inclusive of all faiths and of all people.

 

FRIM offers regular opportunities to meet in Forest Row to celebrate and reflect together on the Divine, as it is experienced for each of us.

INTERFAITH VISION

I was one of the members of the holding group for an organisation called INTERFAITH VISION. After many years of retreats and workshops this organisation, mainly due to other work pressures of the members of the holding group, was dissolved.

The Call to Prayer from the pulpit
The aims and objectives of the organisation were primarily:
*To co-create a new vision for interfaith encounter through open hearted listening and communicating
*To promote good relations and deepen connections between people of all faiths & beliefs and none
*To provide opportunities for people of all faiths & beliefs and none to come together to share a universal experience
*To develop, through our activities, understanding and acceptance of ourselves and each other across differences of faith and belief
*To enable people to co-exist more harmoniously and peacefully by equipping them to engage more effectively in community cohesion and sustainability
*To encourage “the spiritual” (however we each understand it) to inform that engagement by consciously inviting a remembrance of our unity and changelessness in the midst of diversity and change.
