Question 2

Different religions work with other religions to try to understand one another

Answer 2

This means instead of trying to convert people to your religion, like Exclusivist Christians, you find common things and work with each other to be accepting and promote peace

Question 3

Some religious groups are developing ways of helping interfaith marriages

Answer 3

Many protestant churches and liberal or reform Jewish synagogues have special wedding services for mixed faith couples
This helps to overcome the potential tension and conflict between the families and the partners

Question 4

The problem of bringing up children is being dealt with in different ways

Answer 4

Leaders from the Church of England, Hindu, Sikh, Catholic, Muslim, Jewish and Buddhist faiths have agreed to follow the National Framework on Religious Education that children in faith schools will now be taught the main religions practised in the UK
This will make the children more away of our multi-faith society and become more accepting
By preventing ignorance, this prevents conflict

Question 5

Working together in special groups

Answer 5

National groups, such as the Inter Faith Network for the UK which was founded in 1987 promote good relations between people of different faiths in the UK
This brings people together through understanding and acceptance
