‘Living Well Together’ is one of the key themes for Inter Faith Week 2015, which takes place from 15 to 21 November.

The chairs and co-chairs of the organisers, the Inter Faith Network, released a statement following the attacks in Paris on 13 November.

In the statement, they said of Inter Faith Week 2015: ‘The events that the Week will see are a reminder of the reality and the importance of a positive coexistence.’

They added: ‘Tackling tough issues is part of this and on the agenda are those such as extremism, freedom of expression and responding to social ills such as poverty. Inter faith discussion and engagement does not just focus on easy issues; it is not just the province of those who agree. It is a challenging and vital process that needs, increasingly, to be part of the common discourse of our society.’
