New Faiths project gets underway
Akashi have been awarded funding from government body, Faiths in Action, for an exciting new project bringing together individuals and groups from different faith backgrounds around the issue of climate change.
What’s faith got to do with it?
About 70,000 people in Cambridge say they belong to a faith.
All the major faiths care about our planet and about ensuring the survival of life on earth.
The project consists of a series of workshops within faith communities, leading to two interfaith gatherings, and culminating in an Akashi Faiths and Culture Festival in March 2010.
The aim is to:
- explore beliefs about the environment and climate change
- strengthen connections between different groups and create a sense of common purpose around tackling climate change.
- Share existing good practice and develop practical work on reducing carbon emissions.
