We are told we live in a Secular age and in many ways we do. Yet in the 21st century we have seen a revival in faith based movements and an interest in spirituality. We have also seen an expansion in diversity and this has led to questions about social cohesion and the importance of dialogue How do we understand what is happening in 21st Century society and how can we all live together respecting each other's convictions.

This is not about a debate over whether religion is right or wrong but given that there are such diverse faiths and communities within society, then how can we accommodate each other and live together in tolerance. How do we respect our differences and what is the framework needed for that respect to always being mutual.

We would love you to join us there and take part in the discussion.

Best wishes,

Francis

Cheers

Mark
