Centre for Religion

The Centre for Religion is currently a development project of the local authority for the city and district of Armagh. The overall aim of the Centre is to promote an understanding of religion and the ways in which it influences societies, cultures and identities, and to enable individuals to access information from academic, religious and other sources which will help them understand the social role of religion, and the beliefs and practices associated with each religious tradition. The Centre is essentially an educational venture - it does not set out to promote religious belief or any particular form of religion - and it is not restricted to religion in Northern Ireland. It aims to provide information on as many faiths and religious organisations as possible.
