FAITH IN OUR CITY
We are a multi-racial and multi-cultural city supporting a diverse range of religions and communities. The two cathedrals – Anglican and Catholic – may dominate the skyline but Greek orthodox, Unitarian and numerous European churches can be found across Liverpool.
The mosque at 8 Brougham Terrace was the first to be established in England and the Al Rahma mosque near the city centre can hold up to 1,000 people. Liverpool has a thriving Jewish community too, with numerous synagogues, including the Princes Road Synagogue, one of the finest buildings in the city.
Liverpool has well established Nigerian and Somalian communities. Plus there’s a thriving Sikh community, a Hindu temple on Edge Lane and smaller, but no less active, Buddhist communities.
