RELIGIOUS MEDIA CENTRE – This organisation is, according to its website, ‘An independent, impartial body helping journalists and other media professionals cover world religions and beliefs’. It contains lots of well written, concise and useful information about different faiths and practices – its website is available at https://religionmediacentre.org.uk/
BBC MATERIALS ON DIFFERENT RELIGIONS – This link takes you to an archived section of the BBC website – so some parts of the site are dated. However, there are concise summaries of a number of religions here and presumably, being written by the BBC, the material is reliable.https://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/
