Dear friends,
During Refugee Week 2007 speakers from the asylum seeking community and refugees, who have now been afforded safety in the UK but who do not forget what asylum seekers are enduring, spoke at 27 religious services in Cleveland and North Yorkshire. We were warmly received and many people commented on how little they had really known about asylum issues. Some very good contacts were made that week and we have returned to churches for social events.
Rabbi Lionel Blue recently wrote,
‘As a fellow of Grey College, Durham, I am delighted to be resident again throughout May.
JESUS – (uncovering the life, teachings, and relevance of a religious revolutionary)
By Marcus Borg Harper ISBN: 9780060594459
Marcus Borg’s latest book, now available in this country, is a book that will appeal to a wide spectrum of British Christians. It is an ideal book to invite those Christians who have not yet engaged with the new paradigm thinking to join a PCN group to discuss it in a series of discussions.
The fifth annual nationwide Conference of the Churches Refugee Network, now with final speakers added to a lively programme of information, networking and enjoyment.
As always, a simple lunch will be provided, amidst a range of project displays on refugee and asylum work throughout Britain.
