What Does Marriage Week Look Like?

• Modern, friendly and encouraging, while retaining traditional principles and values;
• Could mean discovering through reading a newspaper article how to resolve conflict, or a couple attending an "improve your love-life" workshop;
• Is a platform for Christian churches, other faith communities, secular agencies, Government initiatives and community schemes to promote their services;
• Has been building a clear interfaith and ethnically appropropriate persona, drawing in key figures from a variety of faith and professsional backgrounds;
• Is born from mainstream Christian figures and organisations, so it will always have a Christian distinctive - while welcoming, accommodating and being much the weaker without the active participation of others;

What is the legal structure?

The interllectual copyright for Marriage Week is held by registered charity Futureway Trust. The project in the UK is operating under the auspices of Futureway as a legal entity. Currently, the international group operates under the auspices of Futureway Trust, and each nation operates their own autonomous Marriage Week project under informal and formal arrangements with national leaders. In reality the international group is more of a gathering of independent national leaders.

Therefore, the Board of Futureway Trust are currently working with the international group to identify the best possible international structure for this fast growing activity. The objective being to create a structure which will allow security, and ownership from stakeholders. Each national leader can be contacted through their web sites; For International development enquiries contact Richard Kane at marriageweek@tiscali.co.uk or call +44 (0)1202 880681
