PLACES OF WORSHIP

IN THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KINGSTON UPON THAMES

INTRODUCTION

Shalom / asalaam aleikum / namaste / welcome!

The Kingston Inter Faith Forum was established in 2003 and comprises representatives of religious faith groups/ communities in Kingston who wish to participate together with other appropriate local organisations. We serve as a channel of communication and understanding between the various faith groups, providing an opportunity for discussion of issues of mutual interest and/or concern. More information about the Forum can be found at our website: http://www.kingstoninterfaith.org.uk/ The Forum aims to:

i) develop communication channels between different faith structures to improve the understanding between key community leaders to, for example, promote peace;

ii) provide an opportunity for dialogue between key community leaders in mutually respectful ways to reflect on difficult issues without necessarily binding any institution to another;

iii) develop friendship and peace amongst religious leaders;

iv) develop a vision for Kingston such as to make Kingston a better place by inter-faith understanding, encouraging peace and community respect;

v) develop a programme of activities, e.g. presentations by community leaders on shared values;

vi) sharing of cultural activities such as music, song, cuisine and literature;

vii) development of a newsletter and web page; and utilising existing exhibitions to provide a focus for events;

viii) develop a community understanding of religious differences in an effort to reduce prejudice and intolerance in society.
ix) to be part of the Borough's approach to community cohesion.

We hope this leaflet provides interesting information for visitors to Kingston and for local residents about the places of worship or faith communities to be found in the borough.

It mainly includes contact details for those faith communities which are members of the Kingston Inter Faith Forum: Baha'is, Buddhism, Christianity (Anglicans, Christian Scientists, the Free Churches, Greek Orthodox, Quakers, and Roman Catholics), Hinduism, Islam (Ahmaddiya and Sunni), Judaism (Liberal and Orthodox), Paganism and Sikhism.

Quaker faith springs from the experience that each one of us can have a direct relationship with the Divine. Meetings are mainly held in silence as communal waiting on God's guidance, rather than through formal prayers or a set liturgy. Since their foundation in England in the 1600s Quakers have tried to make a practical witness to religious convictions, and are especially active in peace work, human rights and social reform.

OTHER CONTACTS
We recognise that one of the sources of energy and vitality in the Royal Borough of Kingston is the diversity of the community which brings a variety of gifts and insights to work towards the common good. A thriving, vibrant community is often characterised by a confidence and tolerance which allows a variety of beliefs, within the context of a cohesive social framework. Many voluntary organisations in the borough work to promote an ethical approach to life, peace, and wellbeing in the community. Here are just a few contacts:
