Friends hold Interfaith Death Cafe

Friends in Leicester hold a Death Cafe as part of Inter Faith Week

Leicester Meeting held a ‘Death Cafe’ as part of Inter Faith Week last month. Anne Fishenden, from Leicester Meeting, told the Friend that the café, now in its third year, was ‘a very successful way to get a deep conversation going with a variety of participants through the Interfaith network’. She said: ‘Leicester, of course, is rich in faith groups, and we have included Muslim, Baha’i, Hindu and Sikh participants, as well as a few branches of Christianity, with enough of us to split into two or three smaller groups.

‘Advices & queries encourages us to consider the end of our life; this opportunity to share our thoughts and insights is a good way to start engaging with these sensitive issues. It’s such a good way to reinforce what we all know deep down; we have more in common than what separates us.’
