Interfaith Resources

The International Interfaith Centre engagues in a variety of different kinds of projects to promote interreligious understanding and co-operation between different faith communities, both in the UK and internationally. In so doing, it seeks to work cooperatively with existing interfaith organisations in order to compliment their activities.

Events
Throughout the year, the IIC hosts conferences for both 'Friends', as well as the general public, who are interested in developing further their understanding of interfaith issues. [GO!]

Oxford Directory
Since 2003, the IIC has published the "Directory of Faith Communities in Oxford." This Directory includes communities of both the six major world religions, as well as other religious and faith groups, including humanists and pagans. It is regularly updated online and provides a short description, and the activities and contact details of each community. [GO!]

The IIC is developing a range of high quality educational and academic resources for interfaith studies, ranging from school to postgraduate levels. These are being developed in association with the appropriate educational and university bodies. The IIC also facilitates the research and study of interfaith issues and provides relevant resources, both online and offline. [GO!]

Global Survey
Between 2003 and 2005, the IIC conducted two surveys on people's perception of, and attitudes towards interfaith dialogue. The second questionnaire, Attitudes Towards Interfaith , was developed in partnership with the Welsh National Centre for Religious Education at the University of Wales , Bangor . The aim of the survey, conducted at the Parliament of the World's Religions (2004), was to develop further understanding of people's attitudes towards the nature of religious truth, interfaith activity, and the relationship of personality to faith.
