Friendship Through Faith

We are working with two local groups, a Muslim women's group from Batley and a Bible Studies group from Dewsbury to bring them together through an informal ‘cultural awareness’ workshop, visits to each other’s places of worship, and discussion forums.

Our Friendship Through Faith group began as an informal partnership between members of a Bible Studies group in

Dewsbury and a Muslim women’s group in Batley. 

Members first met for a ‘cultural awareness’ session at Batley library, where friendships were formed. 

The groups have since visited each others places of worship and went together to see a play about the Holocaust, followed by a follow up session over a meal with a ‘menu of conversation’ to discuss the topics addressed in the play.

Recently the group visited Manchester's Jewish community - you can see the photos by clicking here.  The group continues to meet through our book club, and more activities are planned for the future.

If you are interested in joining the group, please contact us and we will keep you informed regarding future meetings.
