Interreligious Week 2025
The annual Interreligious Week hosted by the Department of Religion Studies of the Faculty of Theology and Religion took place from 4 to 7 August 2025. This week consists of dialogue spaces hosted with the aim of attendees learning from cultures and religious beliefs different from their own. This week is marketed through community and campus engagement where the graffiti wall on UP Hatfield Campus is painted ahead of the week to illustrate solidarity and support for unity through diversity.
This week kicked off at Freedom Park, where students were taken on a guided tour of the Garden of Remembrance, introduced to storytelling by Thandi Ramncwana and Kopano Ma and to the Freedom Park Interfaith Committee by Rev Moerane and Mlingane Poswayo. The second event, on 5 August, fascinated students with a presentation by Ms Ntsikie Loteni, Director of the University of Pretoria’s (UP) Transformation Office, discussing Disabilities: Challenges and Opportunities which was followed by lunch provided by the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika.
The following event, on 6 August, took place at NGK Universiteitsoord, where Global Security and the Role of Churches for Peace and Unity was discussed by Rev Mzwandile Molo, General Secretary of the South African Council of Churches (SACC), which was followed by lunch provided by the Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk. The final event and a cornerstone of the Interreligious Week, called Living Museums, encompassed different religions and organisations coming together to learn more from each other, showcasing their religious items for engagement and a better understanding of their religious beliefs.
