Inter Faith Week November 2009
An Inter Faith Week will take place from 15th to 21st November across England. It will include and highlight activities organised by Churches and other Faith communities around the country designed to:
- strengthen inter Faith relations at all levels;
- encourage local Faith groups and communities to reach out to each other and build stronger bonds of understanding and cooperation;
- increase awareness of the different and distinct Faith communities in the UK, with a particular focus on the contribution which their members make to their neighbourhoods and to wider society;
- gain positive profile for inter Faith initiatives, locally, regionally and nationally as well as for the overall work of building good inter Faith relations;
- increase understanding between people of religious and non-religious beliefs;
- encourage the development of new partnerships within local communities and by Faith communities with statutory and third sector partners.
Parishes, schools and chaplaincies are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity it offers for building on our Presence and Engagement programme.
