Altar 8

Phil Cope provided us with a blank, green 'altar' inspired by Haitian tradition and defined: 'a place where you realise your belief'.
The altar has no specific faith or religious connection, but evokes a simple sense of the sacred, an open space that is set apart and filled by each individual or group with their own thoughts and reflections.
The Altar 8 project offered people living and from L8 neighbourhood of Liverpool a space to express their own individual or group identities, values and beliefs or 'spirituality'.

Adult Learners Course

This course gives you the opportunity to discover and explore six major world religions; Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism.

It allows you to investigate, ask questions and draw your conclusions as to the beliefs, practices and traditions of each religion.

The course is delivered in a relaxing environment designed to encourage the participant to feel comfortable in asking those questions that you would feel uncomfortable asking in other situations.

You will have an opportunity to meet people who practice their faith. These people are specially chosen by Liverpool Community Spirit because of their openness and willingness to address challenging questions in a non-confrontational atmosphere of trust, friendship and honest pursuit of truth.
