Religiously-motivated violence and extremism pose a challenge for interfaith organisations.

What is the best way for faiths to work together to challenge such extremism, and are we talking

to the right people? Is public government funding for this work being properly spent? Has

interfaith gone wrong, and how can we make it work?

The Inter Faith Network for the United Kingdom, and its member organisations, including the

Muslim Council of Britain, Islamic Foundation and Board of Deputies, have been invited to

take part on the panel, and to offer Muslim, Jewish and Christian representatives to speak at this

important event.

This panel discussion will take place in the presence of the national media and will be filmed.

Registration is required in advance for security purposes. If you would like to attend or for

further information, please write by e-mail to events@allfaithsnetwork.org.uk

or call 020 3411 7596 or 07979 750293.
