Our Aim
The aim of the Faith Forum is to demonstrate that faith builds communities.
Objectives
· To provide opportunities for each faith community and the wider community to gain a fuller understanding of the faith communities (education);
· To enable the voice of faith communities to be heard by statutory organisations in the borough both jointly and individually (consultation); and
· To lever into the borough resources for faith-based community action, both jointly and individually (resourcing).
Statement of commitment
We commit ourselves, as people of many faiths, to work together for the common good, uniting to build a better society, grounded in values and ideals we share: community, personal integrity, a sense of right and wrong, learning, wisdom and love of truth, care and compassion, justice and peace, respect for one another, for the earth and its creatures. We commit ourselves, in a spirit of friendship and co-operation, to work together alongside all who share our values and ideals, to help bring about a better world now and for generations to come.
