Date and time

Lewis Jones Suite, Carnegie Stadium
St Michael's Lane Headingley Leeds LS6 3BR United KingdomDescription
Churches are places of gathering and welcome for the community, often involved in civic events like Armistice Day and in responding to local, national and international crises and grief, as well as offering weekly and seasonal services, which are open to all. Join staff and students at UK Centre for Events Management in exploring how to welcome anyone into your church or event, considering the practical implications and different cultural needs involved.
Please bring along examples of the types of events, including services, which you run or would like to run, for a hands-on, interactive session.

Faithful Neighbours is the Presence and Engagement hub for the Diocese of Leeds, part of the Church of England's national programme equipping Christians for mission and ministry in the wonderful diversity of our multi faith society. The programme has developed a new language for this work, focusing on the importance of the Church both remaining present in multi religious areas and engaging positively with communities of other faiths. Presence and Engagement is different from interfaith dialogue, although complementary to it. The programme focusses on the task of resourcing the Church for work which will include, but is not limited to, dialogue with people of different faiths.
