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 26 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
Interfaith Week ran from the 10th to the 17th of November. The IFCG celebrated in a number of ways – promoting its Buddying Scheme and also holding its Annual Interfaith Service dedicated to ‘Friendship’. A streamed version of the Service is available. A new page on our website was also recently added, dedicated to Interfaith Friends. Yet another celebration of Friendship will be a joyous Mitzvah Day celebration planned for Sunday 24th November at the Progressive Synagogue, involving children and adults and supporting Voices in Exile.

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. Before the year comes to a close we plan to hold an on-line Winter Vigil on Thursday December 19th between 7 and 8pm.
