Edinburgh Jewish Cultural Centre - Interfaith Learning for All - 7.30pm - 9pm
2025-06-04 | City of Edinburgh Methodist Church, EH8 9BX
Edinburgh Jewish Cultural Centre (EJCC) seeks to celebrate and share Judaism and Jewish culture with people of all faiths and none, Jews and non-Jews. Our successful “Learning for All” study sessions examining aspects of the Bible in relation to contemporary issues have been running since 2018. Until now, while attracting a religiously diverse audience, our speakers have all been Jewish and the themes based around the Jewish Torah. We are now launching a new “Interfaith Learning for All” programme, selecting contemporary themes and examining different religious approaches to those themes, featuring prominent presenters from the main Abrahamic faiths.
Our first event will take place at the City of Edinburgh Methodist Church, Nicolson Square, Edinburgh EH8 9BX (or online). The presenters, Dr Ann Conway-Jones and Rabbi Margaret Jacobi, will speak on the subject of “Reading the Bible: Meaning and Truth”:
When we read the Bible, we expect to find meaning, maybe authoritative truth. Ann will explore how scholars, Jews, and Christians approach Scripture. They find different meanings because they ask different questions. Through Jewish texts, Margaret will explore the importance of truth and the dangers of seeking absolute truth. What is truth, how can we know it, and what are its limits?
Dr Ann Conway-Jones

Ann Conway-Jones is an honorary research fellow at The University of Birmingham and visiting scholar at Sarum College, Salisbury. She specialises in early Jewish and Christian biblical interpretation, combining her scholarship with over 20 years’ experience of teaching adults.
Rabbi Margaret Jacobi

Margaret Jacobi is Rabbi Emerita of Birmingham Progressive Synagogue, where she served for 29 years. She was active in a variety of interfaith organisations in Birmingham, and worked with local churches to support refugees. She has a PhD in Talmud. She is associate Chair of the Liberal Beit Din and Chair of Tzelem, a rabbinic social justice organisation.
