Join author Declan Henry (Breaking the Silence: Thirty-Three Voices of Former Ahmadis) for a historic conference welcoming former Ahmadis, current members, faith-questioners, and truth-seekers.

This conference promises to be an important and thought-provoking event where attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, examine his writings, and explore claims of inconsistencies and contradictions that have been identified by Former Ahmadis.

With a rising wave of departures from the Ahmadiyya movement, more people are speaking out about the pain, rejection, and trauma they faced after leaving. In an unprecedented movement, former Ahmadis are gathering publicly to share their truths and explain why staying was no longer possible.

Hear powerful firsthand stories from former Ahmadis of all backgrounds, including several individuals sharing their journeys in public for the first time. Former Ahmadis will discuss their experiences of life within the movement, the challenges they faced when questioning their beliefs, and the difficulties encountered after deciding to leave.

Declan Henry will speak about the thirty-three testimonies documented in his forthcoming book and the wider themes that emerged from the accounts of former Ahmadis. These include experiences of family breakdown, social isolation, loss of community, intimidation, ostracisation and the emotional cost of leaving a faith-based movement.

Participants will hear how some former Ahmadis experienced hostility, abandonment, betrayal and exclusion from parents, siblings, friends, clerics and community leaders whom they had once trusted. These accounts provide an opportunity for former Ahmadis to explain, in their own words, the reasons for their departure and the consequences that followed.

This conference offers a rare opportunity to listen directly to those who have left the movement and to gain a deeper understanding of the emotional, spiritual and social challenges they describe. Whether you are a current Ahmadi, a former Ahmadi, someone questioning your beliefs, or simply interested in learning more about the experiences of those who have left the movement, this conference provides a unique opportunity to hear perspectives rarely aired in public, ask questions, engage in open discussion, and make your own informed judgement about the issues being raised. For those searching for answers, seeking understanding, or wishing to hear the experiences of former Ahmadis first-hand, this conference represents a unique and potentially historic moment in the ongoing conversation about the Ahmadiyya movement and the lives of those who have chosen to leave it. 

We invite you to join us in Huddersfield on 16th August for what promises to be a groundbreaking event and an important moment in the growing movement of former Ahmadis finding their voice. ”
