The new
Springfield Children's Centre developed out of a partnership between
St Christopher's Church and
Birmingham City Council in a predominantly Muslim local community. How Springfield Children's Centre developed a
welcoming, inclusive yet distinctively Christian project is explored
in a new case study, published by Church Urban Fund.
The research, undertaken by the
Institute for Voluntary Action Research (IVAR) explores the realities of partnership, between faith-based groups and a local authority. It highlights issues related to values and independence, exploring how a distinctive Christian project is developed in a predominantly Muslim community.
