Dropping in on Rahat, while there's yet time

After I took the opportunity last night to speak at the full meeting of the Council of Faiths about the work that Rahat has been doing toward a successful celebration of the Council of Faiths 25th anniversary, some of the members said they'd come by the Welcome Centre to meet her, before she comes to the end of her internship on Friday.

First, Minou Cortazzi (on the right in photo above, with Rahat) popped in. Minou is immediate past Chair of the Council of Faiths (2007-09) and a representative of the city's Bahá'í community popped in. She spent an hour or so here, asking about the project and making some interesting proposals about a high level conference (with suitably high level speakers) to cap off our celebratory period.

Shortly after Minou leaves, we're visited by Alex Keller, who represents the Leicester Progressive Jewish Congregation on the Council of Faiths (and is a member of the sub-group working on the 25th anniversary). Alex is on the right in the photo immediately above, with Rahat). While Alex is here, he helps me formulate a proposal to Phoenix Square Film and Digital Media Centre for a short season of faith-related movies during National Inter Faith Week in November.
