Welcome to VERCIDA website.
Skip to main contentChristian Union
We are a collection of staff looking to live and speak for Jesus both inside and outside the Bank. We support Christians in the Bank by holding weekly meetings where we study the Bible, pray, talk or eat (or any combination of these!) together. We have lively discussions on how our faith applies to our lives and in relation to topical issues.
We welcome all Christians, of any or no denominational background, as well as anyone who wouldn’t call themselves a Christian but is interested in finding out more about the claims and offer of Jesus.
Jewish Network
Judaism encompasses a wide spectrum of denominations and beliefs, such as Orthodox, Conservative, Progressive, Cultural and Atheist Jews, as well as those who are not affiliated. The Jewish Network seeks to ensure we are inclusive of all who are interested in participating in our events.
One of our aims is to cater for the needs of Jewish colleagues, such as distributing information to managers prior to upcoming Jewish holidays and ensuring that those who need to can make necessary arrangements in advance (working from home, taking leave etc.)
The Bank’s Jewish Network intends to organise a few key events around major Jewish holidays, such as Passover and Chanukah. We aim to host a number of Lunch and Learn sessions with interesting speakers on relevant Jewish topics.
Muslim Network
Islam is a holistic way of life, which means we are not able to completely separate our religious requirements from our worldly obligations. One of the many qualities of being a Muslim is to strive for excellence and this is not limited in how we worship God, but also applies equally in how we earn a living. When we come to work we should not feel we have to compromise our spiritual needs in order to fulfil our work obligations. And through the Muslim network, the Bank supports our needs to achieve a balance between our religious needs and our abilities to perform our jobs.
Aims and objectives of the Muslim Network
The Muslim network is an informal group that enables Muslims across the organisation to connect with each other and offer support when required. Our primary aim is to enable the Muslim’s spiritual well-being is catered for within the Bank by ensuring individuals have access to a multi-faith room for the daily ritual prayers and making provision for the weekly Friday congregational prayer (Jummah) within the building
What do we do?
The Muslim network enables Muslims across the Bank and the PRA to connect with each other and offer support when required.
The Muslim network has contributed towards widening the diversity awareness to colleagues across the organisation by publishing guidelines on how to manage work arrangements during the long fasting hours in Ramadan. From time to time, the Muslim network schedules diversity awareness talks to inform colleagues about interesting aspects of the faith that are relevant to daily working life.
The Muslim network also facilitates communications between Muslim networks and activities and events occurring in other organisations within and around the City and Canary Wharf such as the FCA. We also aim to arrange social events to mark Islamic celebrations throughout the year.
