Museum of World Religions (UK)

The GHFP has been engaged since 2007 in the development of the Museum of World Religions (UK) project. The project was inspired and initiated by the Dharma Master Hsin Tao who founded the first Museum of World Religions located in Taiwan.

Respect for all faiths

Celebrating all religions

Cherishing all life

Love and compassion

			The focus of the project is to establish a Museum of World Religions in Birmingham. This may alternatively be named the 'UNESCO Centre of World Religions' or the 'UNESCO Centre of Inter-Religious Understanding'. It is envisaged to be a world-class institution, probably in a multi-storey, purpose-built building, along the lines of the great museums of the world.

			The Museum is intended to be a shared space for dialogue and understanding between people from different faith communities as well as for people of no religious or faith affiliations. It will serve as an educational resource for learners of all ages, and provide an opportunity for individuals to explore the part that religion plays in contemporary life.

The GHFP, together with other partners, is contributing both creatively and financially to this project in order to help develop its concept, content and direction. In November 2010, the MWR (UK)'s workgroup will convene a one-day symposium to discuss the project's Concept Paper, in consultation with scholars and leaders from the diverse faith communities in Birmingham.
