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
We hope that 2025 proves to be a good year for you and also the interfaith movement itself, which plays an increasingly helpful role in our multi-faith, multi-racial society. The IFCG is planning an ambitious programme of activity this year. Our first event was an on-line Friendship Hour with contributions from the Buddhists, Brahma Kumari and Christian communities, which took place on January 13th.

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 provides information about vigils held by other groups in our City. 2024 closed with an on-line interfaith Winter Vigil with representation from many different faiths including the Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Pagan and Buddhist traditions, and was hosted by a leading Brahma Kumari. Ideas for similar vigils are being planned.
