Lose Faith in Cheshire
at Municipal Building, Earle St, Crewe CW1 2BJ
Hosted by Cheshire East Council with the support of the North West

The event is the initiative of the recently formed Cheshire
Inter Faith Network Steering Group and is intended to engage with
the four Cheshire local authority areas.
The purpose of the event is as follows:
- to mark the first National Inter Faith Week with a Cheshire event
- to create opportunities for people of different faiths to work together
- to encourage statutory bodies to increase their engagement with faith communities
- to highlight existing interfaith work in Cheshire
- to begin the process of creating an inclusive mechanism for statutory bodies to relate to the increasingly diverse faith landscape
- to launch a Cheshire wide Inter Faith network and build its database as a first step towards achieving this aim
- to raise the question of the most appropriate inter faith structures required by the reconfigured Cheshire Local authority boundaries
- to present the latest research by the Northwest Regional
Development Agency: Faith in England's Northwest: how faith
communities contribute to social and economic well being (NWDA
2009)
· to encourage local faith community engagement in existing publicly funded strategic faith initiatives such as Faiths4Change and the NW Multi Faith Tourism Association
