Interfaith week

The 2026 theme "Lighting the Way for a Shared Future” is a celebration of hope. Inspired by the symbolism of light across faiths and traditions, including the spirit of Diwali, the theme reflects a shared belief that even in challenging times, communities can come together to build understanding, trust and friendships. 

At a time when division, disinformation, antisemitism, anti-Muslim hatred, and other forms of prejudice are causing many people to feel isolated or pressured to hide who they are, interfaith offers a hopeful alternative towards a shared future in which we all belong, stand together against hate and narrow definitions of belonging, and build stronger, safer, and more united communities. It offers a way forward rooted in solidarity, compassion, and shared action, creating space for people to connect across differences and work together for the common good.

This theme is also a call to action. It invites people of all faiths, beliefs, and backgrounds to take part in Inter Faith Week 2026 and help light the way forward together. Whether through running a Peace Walk in your local area, attending a workshop on faith and the environment, or tuning into an online panel discussion on religious perspectives on wellbeing, every person has a role to play. Through Inter Faith Week 2026, together we can build a society where differences are valued, where no one is left behind, and where hate is outshone by hope.
