Monday, 20 July 2015. Celebrating Ramadan Amid Criticism and Self-Doubt - Katy Niles. I’ve always been one to want to invite everyone …to whatever I was doing. And I’ve seen this strength run through out my life. I can remember all the way back to elementary school. My mom became worried when I spent most of my time around an Albino classmate and one of the more overweight classmates that everyone seemed to shun. Take a step back with me for a moment. Re-read that paragraph. 8220;You’re naïve”. The list ...

Tuesday, 14 July 2015. I Have No Earthly Reason To Be Fasting. So Why Do It? Why go through 30 days of feeling hungry most of the time and sick from trying to eat for about 4 hours a day? Because in January 2015 I started a yearlong project to observe every holy day in the six largest religions in the UK (Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism). Every time I mentioned the project to anyone, they would say incredulously “but surely you are not also doing Ramadan? I realised that many...

Thursday, 16 July 2015. A Latter-Day Saints Take On Charity and Humanitarian Aid. As a “Mormon” woman, I truly see that my life is not only for me to seek knowledge and “Heavenly treasures”, but also to progress in humility, love and all the other virtues. Without Charity, I know that I would not be able to reach my full potential as Children of God. It’s an everyday task and pleasure to look for opportunities to help others. In the Scriptures Latter-day Saints hold dear to their heart (the. Is not an on...

But the question deserves more consideration. What do you actually mean by “prayer”? What do you get out of it? What’s the purpose? Christians sometimes classify prayer into. Concludes “...

Friday, 10 July 2015. Interfaith Education in the US and the UK - Seán Rose. I grew up and lived most of my life in London, UK, until relocating to California, on the west coast of the US, a year ago. When I tell people that I work in interfaith and intercultural education, they are often quick to ask me how this work translates between the quite different contexts of the United States and the United Kingdom (either that, or they simply look puzzled: “interwhat? 8217; for ‘awesome, dude!

Friday, 17 July 2015. 1000 Years of Interfaith Ramadan - Melody Fox Ahmed. Grande Mosque, Cordoba. Credit: The Red List. If God would have willed, He would have made you a single people. But God’s purpose is to test you in what he has given each of you, so strive in the pursuit of virtue, and know that you will all return to God, and He will resolve all the matters in which you disagree. Going into Ramadan, I was thinking a lot about a 9. 8221; I asked in class. But why? The fact that these young people ...
