No Faith in War Day, 7th September 2023
On the 7th September, 2023, APF joined with a number of faith groups including Pax Christi, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, Quakers and Christian CND to protest the setting up of the DSEI Arms Fair at the ExCel Centre, Victoria Dock, London.
Faith and Peace Exhibition
Faith and Peace is an inspiring exhibition which presents perspectives on peace from the three Abrahamic religions –
Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The exhibition is accompanied by artworks created by groups of women in the Bradford area from 2016-2019.
The Peace Museum created the exhibition and led workshops with local women who explored what the themes of faith and peace mean to them in their everyday lives and created artworks which capture some of their reflections.
The exhibition explores the ways in which the three faiths promote peace – in their teaching, and in the lives of their people. It tells stories of their peacemakers. It shows the emphasis placed on each religion on hospitality and welcome for the stranger, including those of other faiths.
Faith and Peace was a 3-year project sponsored by the Anglican Pacifist Fellowship and the exhibition panels are illustrated with images of artefacts in the collection of the Peace Museum in Bradford. Funding for additional workshops was provided by Near
Neighbours.
The artworks were produced by local groups of women, from a range of backgrounds and across a wide range of ages, who met together to explore the themes of faith and peace. Their perspectives and experiences are reflected through the art.
To continue our peacemaking work, APF relies on regular donations from members and supporters.
