For over a century and a half, the Sisters of Our Lady of Sion have been committed to enabling Christians to understand the deep essential relationship between Jews and Christians. Education and friendship have been the tried and tested way to overcome deep prejudice rooted in Christianity for many centuries. This has led to an understanding, acceptance and appreciation of other faith traditions.
Today, SionSisters@NottingHill (formerly the Sion Centre for Dialogue and Encounter) offers face-to-face courses on Scripture and hosts online talks and discussions on Jewish-Christian, interfaith and ecumenical themes.
Online, distinguished speakers from Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other faith backgrounds lead sessions on religious texts through a biblical lens, an interfaith lens, or both, and back up their interpretations with extensive research and in-depth analyses.
Onsite, courses in Scripture are organised for local parishes and anyone else who wishes to join, and there is a small reference library for biblical and theological studies.
Audio recordings of previous online sessions are available on the SionSisters@NottingHill website.
Within a seasonal programme of talks, each online session is a self-contained unit that can be attended as a stand-alone event.
