This episode we are hosting Sophie Mitchell, a Leader of Interfaith Week across England, with a fascinating story to tell about sharing hope across different communities and contexts this November. This episode will maintain our usual dialogue format, exploring the roots and fruits of our subject, with attention on interfaith work which is highlighted by a week of celebrations between the 8th - 15th November. We will consider this year's theme in context, and critically we will also consider where people might find hope this InterFaith week and from the wider InterFaith movement.
