“Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe”

ODIHR developed this guide in response to calls from participating States to provide guidance and practical tools to help them create an environment that enables fruitful dialogue and joint action across religious and belief boundaries.
The guide does not push a ‘one‑size‑fits‑all’ model; instead, it offers guidance about the questions and factors states should consider when approaching the subject. It discusses how to select initiatives and support them in practice. It includes examples of good practice and interviews with actors engaged in dialogue and joint action initiatives across various contexts.

‘Theory of change is a rigorous yet participatory process whereby groups and stakeholders in a planning process articulate their long-term goals and identify the conditions they believe have to unfold for them to be met.

‘Does Government ‘do God’?

Nearly 20 years ago, a former Prime Minister’s spin doctor famously replied to a Vanity Fair journalist: “I’m sorry, we don’t do God.”

That phrase has been taken out of context and misused ever since. Still, for many people of faith, it has become a cultural reference point, confirming their suspicions that government neither understands faith and, crucially, nor does it particularly want to.
