Faith communities
Multi-cultural communities are often multi- faith communities and this should be fully recognised in policies aimed at promoting diversity. Fostering understanding and respect between different faiths is vital in practically implementing community cohesion strategies.
Communities and Local Government aims to help bring about a society in which different belief systems, whether religious or otherwise, are understood, respected and valued. The 2001 National Census shows that over three-quarters of respondents reported having some religious affiliation.
The experience and resources of the faith communities are invaluable and Communities and Local Government strives to ensure that these communities are given the opportunity to participate fully in society through voluntary activity and other faith based projects.
