Churches Together visits Sikh gurdwara
WSN Network

BIRMINGHAM: Members of Lichfield’s ‘Churches Together’ inter-faith group recently visited Birmingham’s Sikh gurdwara, the Guru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha gurdwara, on Soho Road, as part of an ongoing programme of visits. A dozen members of ‘Churches Together’ were shown around the gurdwara, which resembles the Golden Temple of Amritsar, in India.

They heard how a Muslim craftsman wandered into the temple when the glass dome was being constructed, and offered to help with the work – but refused payment. The visitors from Lichfield were also treated to a meal, and were able to ask questions about the Sikh faith.
