Inter-Faith Panel Discussion

Over 150 students and teaching staff gathered for an ‘Inter-Faith Panel Discussion’ led by six Lower Sixth pupils on Thursday morning.

Chaired by Jay, Sam (Judaism), Charlie (Christianity), Abbas (Islam), Saihaj (Sikhism) and Ishaan (Hinduism/Jainism) answered a number of challenging and thought-provoking questions based on religion and faith.

The panel discussed the essences of their religion, how their beliefs contradict or intertwine with science as well as collectively expressing how it is vital to respect all people regardless of their beliefs, before responding to a handful of questions from the audience.

One of the panel members stated that, “We can see a clear link here between all the religions being represented today here; they are all expressing teachings of truth, love, forgiveness, peace and service to others.”

This perfectly describes the aim of the panel, which was to uphold religious harmony, diversity and inter-faith respect between all at Habs. The panel was a showcase of how despite varied beliefs, ultimately, it is possible for us all to live in unity.

We are extremely fortunate and grateful to have students from such broad cultural, religious and non-religious backgrounds at the School to share their beliefs and thoughts.
