International Interfaith Centre, Oxford
The International Interfaith Centre was inaugurated in Oxford, UK on 6
December1993, inspired by the 1993 Year of Interreligious Understanding and Cooperation.
As a result of the increasing amount and variety of interfaith activity around the world,
it was perceived that a need could be met by an international, interfaith centre which was
informed about all these different efforts and able to encourage continuing interfaith
understanding and cooperation.

International Committee for the Peace Council
An International & Interfaith Group of Religious Leaders
The Peace Council is a diverse group of religious and spiritual individuals who are
internationally known and respected and who have decided to come together, as the Dalai
Lama wrote in a recent letter, "to understand one another and work together so that
those of us who profess belief in our respective faiths can work for the common cause of
humanity." He added, "I believe that such a joint effort can set the right
example for the rest of the world."

MultiFaithNet
World Religions Information and Inter-Faith Dialogue
There are vast and growing amounts of Internet material on religion. MultiFaithNet is a
new self-access research, learning, information and dialogue tool.
It provides regularly updated subscription access to global electronic resources and
interactions useful for study of world religious traditions and communities and the
practice of inter-faith dialogue.
As an electronic "gateway" MultiFaithNet offers "signposts" to help
users. Without "gateways" and "signposts" it is difficult to
distinguish between types of material or to be clear about their provenance.
It is invaluable for those with information, community liaison and equal opportunities
responsibilities in the public, private and voluntary (including religious) sectors.
MultiFaithNet also offers a participative electronic forum for news, dialogue and debate
among and between faith communitites.
MultiFaithNet builds upon the track record of the University of Derby's Religious Resource
and Research Centre in producing Religions in the UK: A Multi-Faith Directory and
Religions in the UK: On-line (1997), jointly with the Inter Faith Network for the UK.
MultiFaithNet works according to an explicit editorial policy with a panel of consultants
drawn from the religious traditions which it covers and from academics with expertise in
respect of these traditions.
