Who We Are
And What we do |
Renfrewshire Interfaith Group was formed in 2013 to contribute towards the building of a thriving Renfrewshire through the development of strong, healthy relationships between members of all the faith communities within the area.
The group was created at Wallneuk North Church, Paisley, by the Rev Peter Gill, who felt inspired by his Punjabi background to invite personal friends from different faiths. As Peter says, "It was so natural to relate with the Muslims, Hindus and Sikh communities as I speak the same languages and have the same culture."
