Welcome

Shalom Alecheim, As-Salamu Alaykum, Peace be with you. Welcome to website of The Scriptural Reasoning Society, a diverse community of people dedicated to the shared reading of Jewish, Christian and Muslim sacred texts. By reading together, we seek to understand better and respect each other's important differences of belief, and to work together in building our shared civic life in Britain.

While much of its focus is civic, SR is at heart a practice of people of faith. We want to ensure every level of observance is able to feel comfortable with the handling of Sacred Scriptures and the conduct at our meetings. Therefore, this website is developed and run under Jewish halachic and Islamic shari'a supervision of the London Beth Din and the Fatwa Committee of the Islamic Cultural Centre and London Central Mosque (click to download the official fatwa of the Shari'a Court in English or in Arabic).

On these pages, you can find information about what SR is and how it works, about the ethos of the 'reading community', and of course texts and times of meetings at various venues in London.
