Faith Tours From The The Faith Encounter Programme. The Faith Encounter Programme is a multi-faith group working to develop mutual respect and understanding between people of all faiths and none in the West Midlands. We have pioneered the development of an accredited Faith Guiding Course in partnership with the Institute of Tourist Guiding.We are a charity that works in partnership with Birmingham SACRE to offer quality visits to places of worship of all faiths, for school groups. We also offer training programmes and workshops in faith literacy. These can be tailor made for professional bodies and companies, schools, colleges and community groups
