Faith

continue to offer expertise and courses for Christians who wish to engage
with people of other faiths, building relationships of trust
and friendship and sharing the good news of Jesus
Christ through words and action.

The Faith to Faith
forum We support a network of
churches, organisations and individuals who are building
relationships of trust and friendship with people of other faiths,
strengthening inter community relations and sharing the good news
of Jesus Christ. In this work, we seek to ensure that other faiths
are represented
fairly, and also that people and their cultures are shown
respect. Together with this network, we aim to
provide:
All our newsletters are

whom you wish to relate. Where appropriate we can find trainers who can come to your church, home group, college etc. With the

Some of the questions we
address:
Since
9/11
and 7/7,
I feel an urgency about multi
faith issues. What can I do? How can I get involved?
Can
I talk to my Sikh friends about Jesus? Will they be offended?
Should
Christians be trying to convert people of other faiths or trying to
understand them and learn from them?
Our
church is having a mission. What should we do about the Hindus who live
in our area?
Is
it right for Christians to take part in multi faith worship?
How
do Christians respond to the New Age Movement?
