Uniting for Peace & Friendship Service

The Uniting for Peace and Friendship service is a growing annual tradition hosted by the Edinburgh Interfaith Association (EIFA), bringing together individuals and communities from diverse faiths and backgrounds to stand in solidarity for peace, compassion, and mutual understanding.

First held in 2023 in partnership with The Oxford Foundation, this special service began as a heartfelt response to the need for unity in the face of growing division and unrest in the world. The inaugural service featured shared prayers, reflections, poetry, and music from a wide range of faith communities — each contributing their voice to a shared vision of peace.

In 2024, we hosted our second service in Edinburgh, further building on this interfaith spirit of togetherness. These events are intentionally warm, inclusive, and collaborative, offering a space for both quiet reflection and collective hope.

Each gathering is a testament to the belief that peace is possible when people come together in friendship and respect.
