Interfaith Buddies Scheme Scotland

The Interfaith Buddies event brought together individuals from diverse faith communities to ‘buddy up’ with someone from another faith tradition for friendship building and understanding. The Interfaith Buddies event for World Interfaith Harmony Week 2021 had over 60 people sign up from 7 different faiths and beliefs (as well as those with no religious affiliation) and everyone who took part said how much they learnt from their buddy and how important friendship is in tackling ‘loneliness during lockdown’. Participants shared the depth of their interfaith experience as they explored together the themes of Love of God; Love of Neighbour; and Love of Good and Love of neighbour.
