On Friday, Stephen spoke on faith in politics at the Young Muslim Leadership Programme run by the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies.
The Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies is an independent institution at the University of Oxford for the advanced study of Islam and the Muslim world. The Centre was founded in 1985. It runs the Young Muslim Leadership Programme, a nine-day residential programme that encourages young British Muslims to engage in public life.
Stephen spoke at the Programme on Friday evening. He spoke on the role and importance of faith in politics. He was especially delighted to meet five participants from East London at the event (pictured below).
“It was a privilege to address the YMLP,” Stephen said, “It is inspiring to see intelligent and enthusiastic young people motivated by their faith to engage in public life.”
