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.

Conflict Challenges Interfaith Harmony

The IFCG strongly condemned the acts of violence that took place across the UK directed at Muslims, refugees and asylum seekers. Our organisation was set up with the remit to bring diverse people together in friendship. The commitment of the IFCG is to create harmony, dialogue and understanding in our City and beyond; the positive and united response of Brighton and Hove and the country in the face of the extremist threat came a moment of great relief to many people in our City and beyond. We stand united in our opposition to racist prejudice.

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 we will be holding a Peace Vigil at Hove Methodist Church Hall from 5pm to 6pm. Check out our Prayers, Meetings and Vigils page.
