Multi-faith facilities

Case study, Multi-faith facilities, Places of worship, Social cohesion

If anyone has come across permanent multi-faith facilities in their part of the UK, could you let the Faith and Place network know? This is to get a better sense of where shared spaces across religious traditions are happening – whether this is for community and/or worship activities.

We know of a number of multi-faith facilities in universities, airports, hospitals and multi-use community centres, but are looking for examples beyond these locations. Your help would be much appreciated.

Faith Groups and Planning in Scotland

Briefing, Case study, Faith and Place network, Planning, Scotland

RTPI Scotland have recently published a guest blog post about Faith Groups and the Planning System in Scotland. Paul Ede, a Planning Advisory Service (PAS) volunteer, writes about Clay Community Church in Glasgow and how faith groups can play an active role in place making.

Engaging with our network policy briefing, Paul writes “At their best, faith groups like the planning system steward their energies for the the common good. The concerns of planning are important to faith groups, and the concerns of faith groups are important to planning”. Take a look here.
