Scottish Interfaith Week

As Scottish Interfaith Week approaches from 11 to 18 November, we reflect on the resilience and vitality of interfaith engagement across the nation. Despite the closure of the larger interfaith network, local groups continue to foster dialogue and compassion. Two of our dedicated ROSIM members have reached out to share their involvement in exciting events during this week. Join us as we highlight these opportunities for connection, reflection, and growth within our interfaith community!

Transgender Day of Remembrance: A Call for Reflection & Action

Join us in honouring the Transgender Day of Remembrance on November 20th, as we reflect on lives lost to transphobia and stand together for dignity, acceptance, and justice for all.

OneSpirit Student Reflections: Andrew

In this first student reflection of our "OneSpirit Reflections" series, a member of Aspen Class, Andrew, shares a deeply personal ceremony held at a local beach, marking the transition from year 1 to year 2 of their Interfaith Minister training. The reflection weaves together themes of gratitude, self-discovery, and connection to nature, as the student honours the sacredness of everyday moments and the role ceremony plays in their spiritual journey. This intimate experience offers insight into the evolving relationship between the student and the Earth, celebrating the sacredness of place and the power of ritual in marking life's pivotal moments.

Diwali: The Festival of Lights

Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, is celebrated from 31st October to 4th November, symbolising the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. This vibrant festival invites us to cleanse our minds and homes, welcoming positivity and joy. As we illuminate our surroundings with diyas, let us also reflect on the inner light of kindness and understanding that guides us through life’s challenges. Join us in exploring the rich traditions and profound meanings of Diwali, a time for renewal and unity within our communities.

Honouring Our Elders: International Day of Older Persons

On the International Day of Older Persons, we reflect on the wisdom and influence of our ancestors, whose guidance shapes the world we live in today. Their teachings remind us of the enduring values that connect us across time. At the same time, younger generations bring fresh energy and innovation, ensuring that this wisdom evolves. By honouring both past and present, we create a balanced and harmonious future where each generation contributes to the richness of our shared journey.

OneSpirit Minister Reflections: Holly

In this first of our "OneSpirit Reflections" series, OneSpirit minister Holly Chetan-Welsh reflects on the profound journey that followed their ordination, marking their first year as an ordained Interfaith Minister. As they celebrate the anniversary of this milestone, they explore the highs and lows experienced during what many refer to as the informal "third year" of training. With heartfelt honesty, they describe the challenges of adjusting to life after the intense two-year course, confronting feelings of loss, and the gradual realisation that the path of ministry does not end with ordination—it evolves. Their reflection offers insight and encouragement to newly ordained ministers, reminding them to embrace this transformative period and seek support when needed.

International Day of Charity

On the International Day of Charity, we're reminded of our collective duty to cultivate a world of compassion and solidarity. OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation leads by example, advocating for peace and unity across different faiths since 1996. Far surpassing conventional educational roles, OneSpirit offers a transformative Ministry Training Programme and various workshops aimed at encouraging understanding and spiritual growth among diverse communities. Charity, as seen through OneSpirit's lens, encompasses more than financial contributions; it's about sharing knowledge, fostering spiritual development, and building a shared humanity. As we celebrate this day, we're inspired to partake in acts of kindness, whether by donating, volunteering, or engaging with OneSpirit's enriching educational content, reinforcing our commitment to a more inclusive and compassionate world.
