Preface -- Faiths at the Public Table -- Who on Earth Are We TalkingAbout? Faiths, Diversity and Localism -- What on Earth Are We Talking About? Meanings, Definitions and Debates -- Faiths and the b1 sFaith Community b2 s -- Faiths, Social Capital and Community Cohesion -- Faiths and the Provision of Services -- Faiths, Governance and Democracy -- Faiths, Active Citizens and Strengthened Communities -- Conclusion: Policies, Problems and Controversies.

Using empirical data and theory, this book explores the role offaiths as public actors; their contribution to welfare services, how they help build community cohesion - and break it down -and what it means for them and for others to be involved in new modes of governance. It asks does their emphatic presence threaten the public table, or mightit stimulate a new and helpful way of doing things? The very idea of faiths at the public table raises controversy: what 'faith' is and what 'faiths' are, the relationship between faiths, public policy and civil society; and questions about the role - for that matter the legitimacy - of public faith. This book brings those controversies to the surface and rethinks what faiths bring to the public sphere.
