MISSION STATEMENT<br />

<strong>The</strong> nature of the relationship between different faith traditions, in the UK and elsewhere, is a key concern of the Centre. Friction and<br />

conflicts can occur on the interface between faith, sometimes leading to violence and the persecution of religious minorities.<br />

Our aim is to develop practical, constructive approaches which enable people of different faiths to work creatively with the different<br />

perspectives they hold, rather than see these as barrier to understanding and co-operation or pretend that unity is easy.<br />

Founding year 1993.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se projects include:<br />

BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITIES<br />

� Understanding Islam : A range of training programmes designed to help non-Muslims learn the basics about Islam.<br />

� Scriptural Reasoning: A practical new approach to inter-faith dialogue for Christians, Jews and Muslims.<br />

� <strong>The</strong> Tent : A new meeting space, dedicated to the meeting of faiths, with programme of public discussions, devotional<br />

gatherings and meditation.<br />
