PRESENCE AND ENGAGEMENT

Interfaith Relations are a vital part of life across the West Midlands, whether communities have high numbers of people of different faiths living side by side or very few, issues relating to living in a multi-faith society impact us all.

Our work helps churches in their engagement with people of other faiths whether through mission, evangelism, dialogue or social action. We recognise the breadth of attitudes and approaches that churches have and aim to support and help as broad a range as possible.

The FNC is part of The Church of England’s Presence and Engagement Programme, which encourages and supports the mission and ministry of parishes and other Anglican communities in multi religious contexts.

Canon Dr Andrew Smith, the Bishop’s Director for Interfaith Relations, is a member of the Presence and Engagement central task group, and also has responsibility for supporting churches across Birmingham Diocese in their engagement with people of different faiths. Andrew’s work also includes advising and supporting the Bishop of Birmingham, David Urquhart, diocesan staff and clergy in theirwork with other faith communities.
