Rev'd Mark Rowland
Seminar Synopsis
It’s not just a multi-faith prayer room: the inclusion of diverse religions, faiths and beliefs
This seminar will highlight the range and variety of issues relating to religious and faith inclusion at work, recognising that they go far beyond needs regarding prayer or ritual action. It will provide approaches for understanding and approaching this as well as an opportunity to examine particular examples in more detail.
