In what circumstances can Christians allow their premises to be used for meetings with followers of other faiths?
Christians may wish to invite followers of other faiths to use their facilities for common activities such as group games or dialogue. These events may be held in fields, meeting rooms, or halls owned by the church. Opening their doors in this way is an act of hospitality. While Christians may wish to invite followers of other faiths to their worship services (see Issue 12 below), they should restrict the use of their sanctuary or worship halls to Christian worship only.
