The latest edition of our news magazine has just been published. It gives details of some of the events and activities we have been involved with in recent months. You can read it here.
About 200 of us gathered on College Green at 6pm on Tuesday 17th November for a Peace Vigil – to pay respect to all those who have lost their lives or been devastated by acts of terrorism in Paris and also in Beirut, Turkey, Egypt, Syria and elsewhere. Also to stand united as peaceful multi-cultural, multi-faith and richly diverse communities in Bristol.
Firstly we were outside, listening to speeches and prayers from a whole range of people. Then, the Cathedral opened its doors and invited everyone inside to place their candles – and it was a time for quiet reflection and shared prayer.
There will be a report on our website and on facebook next week – but we just wanted to share with you some of these photos from the evening. See the Photo Gallery here.
This was organised by local agencies and individuals including Bristol Muslim Cultural Society (BMCS); Council of Bristol Mosques; Building the Bridge; Somali Community Organisations; Stand Against Racism & Inequality (SARI); Bristol Multi-Faith Forum and others.
