what

This project will use film, music, photography and other media with the aim of improving understanding in the UK between Christians, Muslims and others.

 

In so doing it aims to contribute in a small way to reducing the potential for suspicion and violence. We want to play our part in helping to build a movement for peace amongst Muslims and Christians alike, united in our common cause of building a strong and thriving community that celebrates difference and seeks the common good.

 

Professor Mona Siddiqui and Bishop Tom Wright explain the need for Peacemakers and introduce some of the materials.*

 

 

The project has the following objectives:-

 

To educate audiences about the faith and practice of Islam and Christianity

 

To convey the crucial nature of education and communication for the development of community between people of different cultural backgrounds and faiths

 

To convey that building community is central to our faith and practice - including the development of mutual understanding between people of different faiths

 

To encourage ordinary people to become agents of change for peace in the UK and beyond, through developing relationships with their neighbours regardless of their religious or cultural background and through ordinary acts of bridge building in their wider communities.
