Interfaith Connections
Opportunities to learn about and share with neighbours of other faiths
Faiths Act is the multi-faith social action programme of the Tony Blair Foundation. http://www.tonyblairfaithfoundation.org/pages/faiths-act
Spearheaded by 30 young leaders drawn from different faiths from the US, UK, and Canada, it mobilises people of faith to work together on issues of health and global poverty in order to help achieve the UN’s Millennium Development Goals. Their initial focus is the eliminating of deaths from malaria. The London Faiths Act was launched 18th November during Interfaith Week.
Two London Faiths Act Fellows Muslim Nadeem Javaid and Christian Nicola Minford are based in Vauxhall with their host organization, the Christian Muslim Forum. But the other two are based in Camden: Jewish Natasha Steele and Roman Catholic Myriam Volk are hosted by Tzedek at the Jewish Social Action Hub, Haskell House, 152 West End Lane, NW6 1SD.
