Keeping Faith: A How To Guide
Keeping Faith: A How-To Guide explores how women keep faith - in ourselves, in each other, in a cause, or in religious faith - so you can learn how to keep faith too. Each episode, we’ll be interviewing a different guest, some names you know and some you should know, to find out what keeping faith means to them.
Keeping Faith: A How-To Guide is a podcast from Womens' Interfaith Network, a women’s charity bringing together all faith’s and none, as part of our 2024 Keeping Faith Programme. Find out more at https://www.wominet.org.uk/
