“It was a pleasure to host volunteers of the Dialogue Society for a fast-breaking dinner at our chapel during Ramadan. Whilst we provided the venue, they provided the delicious food which we shared between the two congregations. Some of the chapel’s congregation had also fasted that particular day to experience the joy at the time of fast-breaking together with our Muslim friends. It truly was an amazing evening of feast, friendship and fun.”
Father Jim Robinson, Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel, Hampstead.
We often host these dinners at our own venues, but if we don't have a suitable space, we reach out to a possible guest congregation/ group and ask if they would be willing to provide their space. The food is always a highlight, with homemade dishes prepared by volunteers. During the event, we give a short speech to explain the significance of Ramadan and invite a leader of our guest group to also say a few words.
