If you wish to become a member of Cambridge Inter-Faith Group, please send me your name, your postal address, and your e-mail address. Becoming a member would indicate your support for the purposes of the Group (para 2 of the constitution). It would also mean that you would be kept informed
about events arranged by the Group and about any proposed changes to the
constitution, and that you could attend and vote at annual and other
general meetings, and, with nine others, you could call a general
meeting. The trustees have decided that there will be no membership
fee or subscription this year 2010.
If you represent a faith group or other organization that you consider
relevant, please consider whether that organization should apply for
membership. In that case we would need to be given the name, postal
address and e-mail address of a contact person. A member organization
would be free to send a representative to annual and other general
meetings. There would be no fee or subscription this year, although
financial support would be welcome.

We come from many different religious and spiritual groups. We feel it is important to be guided by the light of religion, to find a way and a truth, which values both unity and diversity and serves to uplift the human spirit. We aim to keep an open mind, providing a forum where groups and individuals can meet, acknowledge each other, learn to listen and share experiences, so that we are all enriched.
We believe that dialogue and co-operation can only exist if they are rooted in respectful relationships which do not blur or undermine the distinctiveness of different religious traditions, and subscribe to the Guidelines for Dialogue of the Inter Faith Network of the UK.
Cambridge is home to many different faith communities and many different spiritual groups. This presents us with a remarkable opportunity for mutual understanding and for creating a society rooted in common values, while celebrating variety of belief and practice. Since 1980 the Cambridge Inter-Faith Group has worked to build good relations between faith communities in Cambridge. It is part of the Inter Faith Network UK (www.interfaith.org.uk) and of the East of England Faiths Agency (www.eefa.net).
We encourage members of all faith groups in Cambridge to become actively involved in inter-faith work by joining our steering committee.
The meetings are free of charge and sometimes followed by refreshments. You can
support our work by leaving a voluntary donation at our meetings or with yearly contributions. (we suggest £6 per year). Please make cheques payable to the "Cambridge Inter-Faith Group".
EVERYONE is welcome, regardless if you come from a traditional religious background, follow a new spiritual path or are just interested.
VENUE: Unitarian Hall, Victoria Street (off Emmanuel Road, opposite Drummer Street Bus Station, CB1 1JW - see web map)
We also arrange visits to other faith communities - see our programme.
