Many of us think we know a lot about one faith or another, but we're also embarrassed by how little we know. What's more, as author Owen Cole once wisely observed: "People who have different beliefs to you don't live in books, they live down your street."
So... Ever wondered what makes food halal? How karma works? Or why Sikh people wear turbans?
In the series 'A beginner's guide to religion' you will get to find out this and much, much more.
Each evening we will explore a different religion with a speaker from that faith.
Learn the history and teachings of each belief system, and hear personal accounts belonging to a faith tradition in 21st century Scotland and beyond.
The series is being put on by the Edinburgh Inter Faith Association. You can find full details here. Continues 21st and 22nd • 17:30 – 18:30 each of those evenings.
By donation. Venue: Cornerstone Bookshop, EH2 4BJ (at St John's Church, corner of Princes Street and Lothian Road, Edinburgh).
