Last night's Faith Regen Foundation dinner provided the first information about the Faith Communities Navigator; an exciting resource for organisations in the private, public and voluntary sectors that want to know more about the lives, beliefs and values of the UK's diverse faith communities.
The Navigator is a user-friendly 'map and compass' to guide people through the diversity of the UK's faith communities. The availability of Bronze, Silver and Gold editions, makes the Navigator a set of tools available to all, regardless of budget and tailored to specific organisational need.
In these times of increased population movement movement, high media interest, international conflict, increased secularism and, for many, a search for the spiritual, there has never been a more important time to explore, understand and appreciate our faith communities. Faith represents for many people, a guiding set of values and principles by which they live, for others it offers a sense of community and the glue by which disparate social, ethnic, linguistic or economic groups might be held together with a common foundation of ethics and beliefs. In engaging with our colleagues, customers, neighbours and friends, an appreciation of what their faith may mean to them brings potential advantage to all and contributes to increased social harmony.
