01. About Us

United Religions Initiative UK works with communities to facilitate a greater understanding and respect between people of different faiths and none. We promote enduring, daily interfaith cooperation, to end religiously motivated violence and to create cultures of peace, justice and healing for the Earth and all living beings.

02. Faith in the community

Our new umbrella campaign, "Faith in the Community", provides a framework for delivering both the traditional elements of our work, such as Faith Evenings and the "Spirit of the Nation" photographic programme, as well as new areas of work involving long-term partnerships with community, public and business sector organisations and the development of Shared Sacred Spaces within each region of the UK.

The term "Faith in the Community" is both a statement and an imperative, reflecting and responding to, the Government's commitment to "create strong cohesive communities in which every individual, whatever their racial or ethnic origin, is able to fulfil his or her potential through the enjoyment of equal opportunities, rights and responsibilities".

03. Shared Sacred place

Sacred buildings or space - some kind of sanctuary - is invariably the focus of faith. As a bridge building organisation we wish to facilitate the involvement of Faith Leaders and young adults from the Faith Groups in an exploration of the concept of Sacred Space.
