A multifaith space or multifaith prayer room is a quiet location set aside in a busy public place (hospital, university, airport, etc.) where people of differing religious beliefs, or none at all, are able to spend time in contemplation or prayer.[1] Many of these spaces are small, clean and largely unadorned areas, which can be adapted and serve for any religious or spiritual practice.[2] Occasionally, persons of different faiths may come together in such spaces within the context of multifaith worship services.[3]
The space may[4] or may not[5] be a dedicated place of worship. A research project at the University of Manchester has conceptualised the modern multifaith space as "an intentional space, designed to both house a plurality of religious practices, as well as address clearly defined pragmatic purposes."[2]
