| Members of the Southampton
Council of Faiths are organising an information pack based
on series of television programmes produced by Meridian in
2003. The six half hour programmes show how members of the
main faiths in the city of Southampton - Buddhists,
Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Jews and Sikhs, practice their
faith in their lives. The information pack will be sent to
all of the schools, places of worship, local organisations
involved in multifaith work and or course the faith
communities themselves. It is hoped that the pack will
encourage exploration of each other's faiths and customs to
enable a better understanding within the city faith
communities.
