We are grateful to Mr Mahmut Gunaydin, Director of the Dialogue Society Oxford Branch for inviting us to take part in the 2023 Ramadan Interfaith Iftar in Mansfield College. The theme of this inclusive event was ‘Peace and Unity’. Prof Helen Mounthfield KC, Principal of Mansfield College, warmly welcomed the audience. Her opening speech was followed by a Quran recitation, and greeting from Lord-Lieutenant of Oxfordshire. A carefully crafted entertainment programme included demonstrations of Marbling Art by Melek Koc, and Music Performance by Turkish Classical Musician Betul Kilinc. After the call to Prayer and breaking the fast, a traditional Oxford college dinner was served for over 200 guests. Post-dinner entertainment included a Kahoot Quiz and the announcement of the quiz winners. And finally, our generous hosts gifted everyone a box of Turkish Delights!
We felt a great spirit of harmony and are grateful to our hosts for promoting unity. All Kudos to the Dialogue Society and Mansfield College for hosting this hugely successful interfaith iftar.
