Guidance for meeting with other faiths

Helpful ground rules for meeting with other faiths

Simple ‘ground rules’ for meeting with other faiths can be found in the IFN code, ‘Building good relations with people of different faiths and beliefs’.  This was last revised in Dec 2017 and can be found here: https://www.interfaith.org.uk/uploads/IFN_Code_2017.pdf

As a more ‘how to’ resource, IFN also produce ‘Let’s talk: practical pointers for inter faith dialogue' - https://www.interfaith.org.uk/uploads/LetsTalk2017web.pdf
