Interfaith breakfast brings communities together in Woking To mark UN Interfaith Harmony Week, Woking People of Faith, in partnership with Surrey Minority Ethnic Forum, hosted a warm and welcoming Interfaith Breakfast at Karak Chai, bringing together 24 people from diverse backgrounds – including Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Bahá’í and no-faith participants. More than just a shared meal, the morning created a relaxed space for meaningful conversations, new connections, and learning from one another’s experiences of faith, belief, and community life. The gathering began with a short reflection from Phil Simpson, Chair of Woking People of Faith, who invited everyone to think about one way they could bring harmony into their own lives and communities through their faith or values. This simple question sparked thoughtful discussions around the table as people enjoyed breakfast together. The conversations also touched on wider community issues, including youth engagement and grassroots community work, with participants appreciating the opportunity to meet others making a difference locally. Many described the gathering as genuine, open, and deeply inquisitive about one another’s faith, with one participant reflecting on an important takeaway: "It confirmed that we have commonalities as well as differences, just like anyone else." A special thank you to Karak Chai for kindly supporting the event with a 30% discount and complimentary karak chai, adding to the warmth of the morning. Guests were also pleased to discover the venue has a multi-faith prayer room, a thoughtful gesture that was warmly welcomed.
