Events

Autumn Term 2004

WIRD has two sets of events happening this term: Introducing Religions sessions on Monday evenings, and a Word-sharing in week 7.

Introducing Religions

Each week during term 1 we have the chance to learn a bit more about one of the religions represented in WIRD. There's a half-hour talk given by either someone from the respective society, or a speaker they have provided. Afterwards there is a chance to ask any questions you may have, and to talk over refreshments.

These talks are on Mondays, 5-7pm in R2.41 (in the Ramphal Building). The term's schedule is as follows:

WeekDateReligion
311th OctoberJainism
418th OctoberBaha'i
525th OctoberChristianity
61st NovemberIslam
78th NovemberJudaism
815th NovemberBuddhism
922nd NovemberSikhism
1029th NovemberHinduism

Word sharing

One person from each of the eight religions in WIRD recites or reads a passage of scripture or a prayer from their tradition. That's all; no exposition - just sharing by offering and receiving, reading and listening.

Each contribution lasts two or three minutes, and afterwards there's a chance to meet each other informally over refreshments. All who wish to listen with respect and tolerance are welcome.

This term's Word-sharing is on the theme of 'Peace', and is taking place on Wednesday November 10th, 5-6pm in the Chaplaincy.
