Barrie Schwortz returns to Ahmadiyya Muslim Community's 50th Jalsa Salana (Annual convention) UK with the replica of the Shroud of Turin to show this historic relic at the convention which anticipates over 35,000 people visitors this year.

The exhibition is sponsored by The Review of Religions, a UK based worldwide magazine of  comparative religions contents.

The Jalsa Salana UK Convention is run by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, which believes the Shroud of Turin bears the image of Jesus, alive in the tomb after his crucifixion. 

A life-sized replica of the Shroud of Turin [will be] one of many exhibits on human rights and the Koran on display at the convention.

A leading expert on the Shroud of Turin, Mr Schwortz participated in the 1978 in-depth scientific examination of the cloth by STURP, the Shroud of Turin Research Project.

Initially doubting its authenticity, he changed his mind after seeing no brushstrokes on the Shroud and has since toured the world giving talks attesting to its authenticity.

In the Jewish tradition, to which Mr Schwortz adheres, Jesus and his mission are completely rejected.

While most Orthodox Muslims believe Jesus was a righteous prophet, who was never crucified and, instead, ascended bodily to heaven, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community believes he was crucified but survived after his friends restored him to health with healing ointments and herbs.

Dignitaries, diplomats, and academics from over 100 countries will attend the convention in Hampshire, which aims to highlight the peace, tolerance, and loyalty as a teaching of Islam and show how it contradicts the message of extremist groups.

The Khalifa of Islam and the world head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, His Holiness, Mirza Masroor Ahmad -- who is based in London -- will address the convention.
