Welcome to the Interfaith Contact Group of Brighton and Hove (IFCG). We create opportunities and safe spaces for people of different faiths and none to meet and talk. Most of our members and friends belong to faith groups but many don’t. We organise regular events like our Friendship Hour and gatherings and vigils in answer to current and community needs. We have served as Chaplain to the Mayor on a number of occasions and been around for over 25 years. Take a look at our History. We warmly invite you to become a Member or a Friend.
Celebrating Friendship in Interfaith Week and Beyond
The IFCG values Friendship. Our Buddying Scheme continues to flourish, and a new page on this website is dedicated to Interfaith Friends. During Interfaith Week (from the 10th to the 17th of November) the City’s Annual Interfaith Service is dedicated to Friendship. Join us on Sunday, November 17th at 3pm for a magnificent celebration, in word and music, celebrating the virtue, value and joy we all get from friends – old and new.

Prayer Meetings & Vigils
Interfaith prayers are powerful and inspirational — they are shared prayers. The IFCG holds prayers and vigils on a regular basis, and also reports vigils held by other groups in our City. On Tuesday 15th October a Peace Vigil was held at Hove Methodist Church Hall. For many attending it was a profound expression of peace in 2024. Check out our Prayers, Meetings and Vigils page.
