about us
It’s often said we’re not so much about faith, as we are about people. In fact we’re about both. Our members seek to build bridges, because of their beliefs that we should all be peace makers, that we should all add to our community rather than delegate responsibility elsewhere.
Interfaith simply means ‘between faiths’. We come together, respecting our diverse beliefs and practices, as well as valuing that which we have in common. Increasingly our projects aim to support faith communities in interacting with the wider community, both to build awareness, and to harness the activities of our congregations for the benefit of our neighbourhoods.
The Network is open to everyone, of all faiths and none. You can sign-up to receive news and information on our Contact page, or you can call for a chat, with Steve, our Development Officer on 01384 267 415. You can also sign upto activity updates by going to our Latest News page.
