Susie Triffitt, a PhD student in Theology and Anthropology, introduces her friend the Reverend Nathanael Poole, who shares his experiences and insights on interfaith work in Bradford, a city so religiously diverse it matches Pew research projections for the world in 2050. Nathanael discusses interactions with Muslim and Hindu communities, highlighting the importance of honest dialogue and shared spaces, like Park Run, for fostering interfaith connection. Challenges such as self-censorship and community segregation are addressed, alongside his thoughts on religious education and sensitive storytelling in schools. Nathanael reflects on changing faith dynamics, the decline of aggressive atheism, and a renewed interest in spiritual and theistic faiths among young people. The conversation emphasizes the ongoing importance and potential of interfaith engagement for future community harmony.00:00 Introduction to the Cambridge Interfaith Programme00:50 Meet Reverend Nathanael Poole02:20 Challenges in Interfaith Dialogue04:59 Interfaith in Non-Religious Spaces07:20 Policy and Education in Interfaith Contexts12:30 Interfaith Experiences with Hindu and Sikh Communities15:02 Reflections on Faith and Interfaith Futures16:48 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
