Bradford Churches for Dialogue and Diversity

BCDD is a registered charity (1110761) and was established in July 2005 as an ecumenical resource providing learning opportunities for lay and ordained people, in Christian and multi-faith settings. 

BCDD's vision is “Enabling human flourishing in the context of religious diversity”. It seeks to achieve this vision by:

1. Resourcing and inspiring churches in their presence and engagement in multi-faith society
2. Creating space within and between religious communities to promote mutual human flourishing, locally and globally
3. Resourcing and inspiring organisations to increase religious literacy
4. Providing opportunities for transformational encounters and theological reflection through education, training and other resources
5. Development of local community action and social justice advocacy
6. Working relationally with individuals and organisations, both religious and secular
7. Increasing awareness of BCDD’s resources, skill-base and activities locally, regionally and nationally, working proactively on inter-faith issues

Through the Near Neighbours programme, BCDD will expand its work to Oldham and Burnley and have a greater involvement in grassroots activities.
