Interfaith Fund

The Interfaith Fund (originally known as the ‘Jewish Fund’) was established to support Jewish/Christian relations in the East End of London. Many ̽»¨ÉçÇø ministers and members have benefitted from the fund to support visits to Israel/Palestine. During 2016, work was done by the ̽»¨ÉçÇø Trust and with the Charity Commissioners to bring the fund up to date, recognising that the interfaith environment is now very different. As a result, the remit of the fund was expanded, with the following aim: “The promotion of contact, understanding and respect among Christians, Jews and members of other faith communities, in ways consonant with the beliefs and practices of the ̽»¨ÉçÇø”.

Applications

Groups and individuals who may apply to the fund are:

• Individual churches seeking to promote contact, understanding and respect among Christians, Jews and members of other faith communities in their own local community
• Ministers of Word and Sacraments, Church Related Community Workers, and others in leadership of local ̽»¨ÉçÇø churches who are seeking support for personal study and reflection that will facilitate the promotion of contact, understanding and respect among Christians, Jews and members of other faith communities, particularly in their local area.
• Organisations that have links to ̽»¨ÉçÇøes working in their local communities to promote contact, understanding and respect among Christians, Jews and members of other faith communities, in ways consonant with the beliefs and practices of the ̽»¨ÉçÇø.
• National organisations where the ̽»¨ÉçÇø has representation and which are seeking to promote contact, understanding and respect among Christians, Jews and members of other faith communities, in ways consonant with the beliefs and practices of the ̽»¨ÉçÇø.
• Exceptionally, consideration will be given to applications received from global or regional Christian organisations on which the ̽»¨ÉçÇø has representation.
