Creating a culture of peace

The Edinburgh Inter-Faith Association

The Edinburgh Inter-Faith Association brings together members of the Bahai, Brahma Kumaris, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan, Sikh, and Unitarian communities. The Association aims to:

  • Promote religious harmony, diversity and equal opportunities in Edinburgh and its wider environs by bringing together the faith communities in deeper dialogue which leads towards mutual understanding, trust, respect, co-operation and peace; 
  • Advance the education of the general public on inter-faith and multicultural issues to further their awareness and understanding; 
  • Contribute toward the development of a global culture of peace by working both locally and globally to improve co-operation between faiths and cultures;
  • Work with local, national and international organisations, both religious and secular, to further the aims given above.
