Representatives of the various faiths will assemble at Gur Panth Parkash Gurdwara, in Ashford Road, off Welford Road, at 6pm.The council of faiths said it planned to step up its work in the community this year.
All are welcome to the meetings, which will take place regularly throughout the year.
This evening Cllr Manjula Sood (Leicester City Council Assistant Mayor and Chair of Leicester Council of Faiths) and I appear together live on BBC Radio Leicester, speaking about preparations for events in the city centre next Saturday.
Kamlesh Purohit (photo above) broadcasts music, entertainment and news from an Asian perspective every Sunday between 2000 and 2200. Manjula and I are live in the studio with Kamlesh for 20 minutes or so early in the show, responding to his questions about the city's faith communities and the upcoming demonstration by the English Defence League and counter demonstration by Leicester Unite Against Fascism. We're also able to say a little about the forthcoming open meeting sponsored by the Council of Faiths with City Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby at Gur Panth Parkash Gurdwara, Ashford Road, this Tuesday evening.
