Making Sense: Opening Doors!
Faith communities will once more be opening their doors to the public this year on 7th November (11am to 4pm), as part of the Faith Forum's 'Diverse Doors Open Day'. Diverse Doors Open Day (DDOD) is intended to give anyone the chance to visit a faith building and to meet people who will be able to talk to them about the faith that is practised there.
We hold this event annually to augment the, now well established, main Open Doors day held by many civic buildings during September. Bristol has a wealth of faith communities, and each community maintains its own building. DDOD is a welcoming event, a means for people to find out about faith.
Further details to follow soon.
Faith in Society: what's the point?
On Tuesday 5th October, from 1pm onwards, the Bristol Multifaith Forum will be hosting 'Making Sense of Faith' at the Bristol Council House. This is a significant event in the development of the forum, notably because we are being strongly supported by Bristol City Council.
The aim of the afternoon is to demonstrate the lasting relevance of faith and faith communities in the city as a whole. The final shape of the event is still being worked on, but there will be opportunities for people to discuss, share, explore and ultimately grow in their appreciation of how faith communities contribute to the big issues of our day. The event is not to resolve but to illuminate, to look at issues of social justice and transformation, and demonstrate the value of faith in coping with contemporary culture.
