Cambridge Interfaith Programme

 
About us Overview

The Cambridge Interfaith Programme was established in 2002 to advance mutual understanding among and between religions and in secular spaces.

From our base in the Faculty of Divinity, our researchers and affiliates work to catalyse and disseminate inter- (and intra-) religious research. We have a longstanding commitment to partnership working and the public good, and curate a range of activities and events to enhance cross-sector learning.
