promoting good inter faith relations

highlighting the contribution of faiths to building community

increasing understanding between faiths and wider society
 

Inter Faith Week 15-21 November 2009

Inter Faith Week ran from 15 to 21 November. Its aims were:

• to strengthen good inter faith relations at all levels;

• to increase awareness of the different and distinct faith communities in the UK, in particular
  celebrating and building on the contribution which their members make to their neighbourhoods and to wider society; and

• to increase understanding between people of religious and non-religious belief.

The Week was facilitated by the Inter Faith Network for the UK and the Department for Communities and Local Government but was community-led, with local people and groups of different backgrounds holding their own events and to highlight work going on to promote understanding between people of different faiths and beliefs.
