Council of Faiths full meeting

Full meeting of Leicester Council of Faiths at the Welcome Centre this evening. There are sixteen people here, representing six of our eight member faith communities. Among topics we discuss this evening are our upcoming Annual General Meeting, issues related to burial and cremation, and ways to mark our 25th anniversary.

Events in Norway are never far from our thoughts this evening. In recent years, Leicester has developed a relationship with the Norwegian city of Drammen. Dr John Hall, director of St Philip's Centre for Study and Engagement in a Multi-Faith Society, speaks about contact with friends in Drammen since last Friday, which brings closer to home the effects of the dreadful events that have rocked Norway and all of Europe.
