At 1200 we have the first of ten public meetings for Inter Faith Week, under the series title, “Communities of Faith or Belief in Leicester ". These hour-long introductions are being held in Leicester Adult Education College (or, more precisely, in Leicester People's Photographic Gallery, which is part of the Adult Ed College).
Leicester Council of Faiths is hosting these meetings in association with Leicester Adult Skills and Learning Service (LASALS). Chris Minter, Head of Service at LASALS, expressed an interest in supporting Inter Faith Week this year and we agreed that this would be an appropriate way for LASALS to do so, by allowing free use of its venue and facilities.
The speaker for this Beginner’s Guide to the Bahá'í Faith – or Bahá'í 101 – is Rod Duncan. I say a few words at the start, setting this talk in context with the ones to follow and with our other activities for Inter Faith Week. I leave a bunch of leaflets, then hightail it back to our exhibition in Highcross. When I leave, three people have turned up to listen to Rod. Another couple turn up a little later. I don't think that's a bad turnout for this sort of event: an old fshioned public meeting in the middle of the day in the city centre.
