Faith Matters
Faith Matters was formed to facilitate faith communities to reduce conflict within local areas. The Organisation came about partly due to ongoing issues between faith communities that were affecting community cohesion and partly due to a desire to bring faith communities together to understand commonalities, historical and religious similarities and the need to develop a bedrock of mutual support and assistance to combat xenophobia, intolerance, distrust and ignorance.
