Manchester Multi-Faith Community Centre
In order to meet and develop the needs of the communities of Manchester it serves, FN4M identifies the need for a Multi-Faith Community Centre fully staffed and resourced. This building will
- Provide an internet café / drop-in
- Provide meeting facilities including small conferences
- Provide resources for schools, community and faith groups
- Provide offices for all staff for the planning and delivery of projects
- Be a hub for information sharing and interfaith engagement for Manchester
- Create space where stories may be told and shared
- Be a centre of excellence for effective interfaith engagement and good practice
More information will be made available as the plan progresses. For any queries, please email mail@fn4m.org.
Multi-Faith Spaces- Symptoms and Agents of Religious and Social Change
FN4M supports the research being undertaken by the University of Manchester.
This project takes as its starting point the recent increase in attempts to accommodate religious diversity through the provision of multi-faith spaces (henceforth – MFS). These spaces – first emerging as ‘mono-functional’ rooms in airports, universities, hospitals, shopping malls, etc – now appear increasingly ambitious in scope. An example of this new approach being a shared building within which different religions have their own sacred space(s), alongside some collective facilities for secular purposes. In the future this trend might well presage the generation of increasingly multi-functional building complexes, where members of different faiths would be able to pray, relax, learn, even shop and play, within the same shared space.
