Is LCOF trying to say all the religions are the same and we are all one? |
|
|
|
From the aims and objectives of LCOF it can be clearly seen we are here to open spaces on dialogue and try to understand our differences and focus on our strength. LCOF sees its members as a 'fruit salad' and not a 'cocktail' where each and every individual person enriches diversity of human beings by being unique. Difference is a strength when taken positively which leads to expansion and creativity towards a better society. Is LCOF a regulatory body for different faiths communities? Again from our aims and objectives, we are about bringing faiths and cultures together in friendship and not a regulatory body. |
|
Does LCOF represent the local borough? |
|
|
|
Luton Council of Faiths does not represent the local borough. Over years due to its hard work and credibility in the community, as a sign of good faith and recognition, Luton Borough council supports LCOF financially towards the employability of it's workers. LCOF is independant of LBC's policy. From time to time, as and when needed, LCOF offers advisory support to the local council. |
