Interfaith groups in Devon
Local interfaith groups tend to bring together people from diverse traditions who are interested in being more open to one another’s faith and belief. They generally build up positive relations at a more local level by holding meetings, inviting speakers, promoting dialogue and mutual support, organising campaigns, visiting faiths premises, organising social activities, sharing meals, etc. They are not usually strategic and not highly structured, nor necessarily representative – just informal personal gatherings.
There are several groups in Devon, in alphabetical order:
