Following the popularity of the Tower Hamlets Inter Faith Calendar, Tower Hamlets Inter Faith Forum set out to map public places of worship of all the major faiths in the borough. The result is our first ever Tower Hamlets Inter Faith Map.
Explore faith through their places of worship. It provides the user with basic information about each place of worship‚ its name, address, location and contact information. It also flags places that serve as locations for the reporting of faith hate crimes.
This information is shared with the Faith Directory.
Crossing the road 2008
A free course in story-telling for women from different backgrounds and traditions.
A week of events celebrating the diversity of Faiths in Tower Hamlets.
Chair of the Tower Hamlets Interfaith Forum, Reverend Alan Green, said: “Inter Faith Week is an exciting opportunity to celebrate the diversity of the many faith groups living together in Tower Hamlets, and to acknowledge the contributions they make to the life of the whole community.”
The Jewish East End Celebration Society, supported by the Borough of Tower Hamlets, organised a programme of events for Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) 2007. All events listed were free, and open to the public. The theme of HMD 2007 is "The Dignity of Difference."
See drawings with an accompanying questions from 30 young artists.
Children from all over Tower Hamlets were asked to draw a cartoon-style picture demonstrating something of concern to them.
The young artists were then asked to provide a question related to their image. These questions will be directed to faith leaders.
Schools Programme 2007
This initiative enables school visits involved mixed groups of community leaders representing different faiths. Trained volunteers visit classrooms and assemblies to help children develop a shared understanding of the common values of the different faith communities.
