Faithful Leaders Daniel Singleton, FaithAction

On this episode of Faithful Leaders, Daniel speaks with Gurdeep Singh of Gurdwara Aid about his faith and beliefs, the work of Gurdwara Aid and the effects of COVID on gurdwaras, and what the Sikh community offers to society.

For Faithful Leaders this week, Daniel speaks with Shermara Fletcher, Principal Officer for Pentecostal, Charismatic and Multi-cultural Relations at Churches Together in England. Shermara speaks about her own journey with faith, how different faiths can co-exists, how to form relationships across communities, and how recent events from COVID and the Black Lives Matter protests have affected her faith.

Lord Greenhalgh was appointed Minister for Faith on the eve of the initial lockdown in March 2020. One year on, Daniel asks what his first year as Minister has been like: what lessons he has learnt, what has surprised him most, and what role his own personal faith has played throughout the crisis. 

This week, Daniel spoke to Revd Dr Gillian Straine – Anglican priest, physicist, cancer survivor, and director of the Guild of Health. Gillian shared her thoughts on the role her faith has played during her life and work, especially through experiences of suffering during the past and the present crisis.

Daniel speaks with Deepak Naik, a community leader from Coventry and one of our Community Champions about his experience of the past year, the positive and negative outcomes of the present crisis for society, and the opportunity for faith to play a role in helping to build a better future.

Daniel continues being interviewed by Dr Daniel DeHanas, Lecturer of Political Science and Religion at King's College London, on faith and Brexit, politics and leadership.
