In January 2024 the RCF team hosted a day of shared interactive learning sessions with the LSE Faith Centre team in Cambridge. Our aim was to share our strategic plans for 2024/25 and to act as ‘critical friends’ offering mutual support around common questions faced by both organisations. Specifically, we were keen to explore the intersection and relationship between research and practice, and identify what helps inform effective impact strategy and evaluation.
We were delighted that Revd Canon Prof James Walters, the Director of the LSE Faith Centre, and Professor David F. Ford, the Co-Chair of RCF, could join us for a hugely beneficial day of mutual learning, marked by a true generosity of spirit. Following this, RCF ran an event at the Faith Centre on faith and conflict, exploring the habits and the role of joy in conflict transformation.
