Previous Interfaith Projects in Wales:

NB: These are historic pieces of work so much of the contact information contained within them may now be out of date.  They do however provide good insight into some exciting interfaith projects that have taken place in Wales over recent years.

Until 2008, Wales lacked statistical evidence about the role of faith communities in the wider communities of which they are a part.  This report gives information on the services provided by faith communities to the wider community, the numbers of volunteers they mobilise, and the rooms and halls they make available. The survey on which it is based achieved an exceptional response rate of just over 49%, with almost a third of the replies in the Welsh language.

The Open Hands Project was essentially a research exercise to see what groups there were, and what links or networks would be appropriate. The aim was to build friendships with those from other faith groups, to try to understand each others' viewpoints, and to make sure that we are in a position to provide support and encouragement to each other should it be needed for any reason - in short to establish an informal community of faith communities !

 

Other Interfaith Resources: 

The Inter Faith Network for the UK was founded in 1987 to promote good relations between people of different faiths in this country.  Its member organisations include representative bodies from the Baha'i; Buddhist; Christian; Hindu; Jain; Jewish; Muslim; Sikh; and Zoroastrian communities; national and local inter faith bodies; and academic institutions and educational bodies concerned with inter faith issues.
