I have been to a church on a couple of occasions in the past and I have noticed they have alot of leaflets and information on the religion. Most importantly they have leaflets displaying the times of their daily/evening prayer service ect. Are Gurdwaras doing this at the moment? Also would it not be a good idea to make a flyer that displays Prayer services of the Gurwara then hand it out to the public. ie non Sikhs. The leaflet or flyer would say something like this. 'Explore/Discover Sikhism'. Then have the date and time of the particular Sikh prayer service such as Kirtan or Rehras. and invite people who are interested in learning more about the Sikhism to come to the Gurdwara. at the same time as handing out the flyer we can give them an introduction to Sikhism about the beliefs and teachings. A good way to start a conversation would be the flyer. We dont need to hire out a stall or anything like. If they dont come to the Gurwara they will still have links on the leaflet about information on Sikhism. Hence they will learn about the religion either way. This will involve Sikhs all over the UK doing this in their local areas. I also think we need someone at each Gurwara who specifically gives a tour of the for non Sikhs and guides them around. As it can be daunting for non Sikhs to turn up without knowing what to do or. T This persons job will be to bring new people to the Gurwara and give the an introduction to Sikhism and explain the meaning of the religion. This wont involve any costs or be a complicated process. just someone in a busy high street handing out leaflets to people to invite them to the Gurdwara. We should take advantage of the fact that the Gurwara is open to all instead of the churches and mosques where they are unwelcoming to non believers.
