Scottish Faiths Action for Refugees

June 23, 2017

At last year’s General Synod members welcomed the establishment of Scottish Faiths Action for Refugees (SFAR) – an interfaith body seeking to co-ordinate the work of Christian churches across Scotland, Interfaith Scotland, the Muslim Council for Scotland and the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities in their support of refugees. Through its Church in Society Committee, the Scottish Episcopal Church provides grant funding to support the work of SFAR. The offering made during this year’s opening Synod Eucharist was also in support of SFAR – a total of £1,339 was raised. More information about SFAR can be obtained from its website at: http://www.sfar.org.uk/
