From 23rd September to 21st October, Bradford Cathedral warmly invites you to embark on a transformative journey through the Difference course, created by the Reconciling Leaders Network. In a world often marked by division and misunderstanding, this course offers a hopeful path forward; to build bridges, foster forgiveness, and nurture flourishing communities.

Over five engaging sessions, you'll explore how to navigate disagreement with grace and courage, equipping yourself with practical tools to engage meaningfully across divides. This is more than just learning; it's a call to live out reconciliation in everyday relationships, contributing to healing and unity in our city and beyond.

As part of our 1400 year history of convening people across differences on our site, we are always looking to grow in our interculturality and hospitality. Whether you're seeking to grow in discipleship, enhance your leadership, or simply engage with others eager for peace, Difference offers a safe and inspiring space to discover your role in shaping a more generous, inclusive future.

Join us and be part of a movement to transform division into hope. Together, let's step boldly into reconciliation, embodying the love and justice our city so deeply needs.

Ever wondered what’s in a church, masjid, mandir or gurdwara? The Bradford Faith Trail offers a unique opportunity to discover a little bit about Muslim, Hindu, Sikh and Christian (Roman Catholic and Church of England) faith buildings, about the faiths within and how they link into Bradford’s local community culture and faith heritage.

The Bradford Faith Trail takes in five fascinating places of worship. You can visit as many places of worship as you like – each place of worship will be open for set times and you will be shown round by experienced guides who are there to answer your questions, and to make your visit more informative and enjoyable. You will then be accompanied to the next venue.

The Faith Trail normally takes place on the first Saturday of the month from March-October and can be walked on foot in a day. The whole trail starts at 10am at St Peter’s Catholic Church and finishes at approx 3:45pm at Bradford Cathedral.
