The Charity Commission has decided that the promotion of religious harmony now qualifies
as a charitable objective
The definition of charitable objectives has been enlarged
by the Charity Commission. Organisations that promote racial harmony and eliminate
discrimination on racial grounds have been eligible for charitable status since 
1983. Now, the promotion of religious harmony has been added to this list.
