What does your faith mean to you?

Dear Friend,

Around the world, billions of people subscribe to value systems that champion respect, justice and compassion in their day to day lives. These value systems are of course not always faith based but do motivate people's behaviour and desire to do positive, and often extraordinary, things on an everyday basis.

For some people of faith, moreover, the values written in their religious teachings are embedded so deeply that they are spurred to perform acts of remarkable altruism.

At the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, we would like to hear your thoughts about the way in which faith impacts on your daily life, and what it means to you to be a person of faith in the modern, and increasingly globalised, world.

What does your faith mean to you? Does it impact on your life even as you go about your day-to-day business? Does it motivate you to serve others? And how much do you know about other faiths?

Tell us, in 100 words or less, your experiences of the role of faith in your life. Please also tell us which country you are writing from, and your name if you wish. Going forward, we can share your stories with others on our website and produce a rich mixture of sentiments and opinions from around the world. Send us your pictures too, to demonstrate the meaning of your faith to you.

For example, Amanda and Anna from Connecticut, USA, who are organising a huge multi-faith concert in December at Yale University as part of our Faiths Act campaign, say that for them, 'faith is the belief that human kindness is at the core of our souls. Therefore, it doesn't matter what faith you believe in. What matters is that we all have the ability to use our faiths as a positive catalyst for peace and goodwill in our increasingly interdependent world.'

We look forward to hearing your stories - please get in touch. Click here to tell us your story.

Thank you for all your support.
