HUMAN RIGHTS QUILT
Dear Quilters and craftivists. Many thanks to everyone who’s taken part in the quilt. As you’ll see below, we’re nearly there. The Quilters meet again on Wednesday week, 9th September 10-12 at Friends’ Meeting House, Upper Goat Lane, NR2 1EW.
I look forward to seeing you f you can make it – and to hearing your ideas for where we might display the quilt, and how we might use it to promote interfaith activities, based on our shared human values, protected by the Human Rights Act

I’m starting a new local social media/community project celebrating the people, independent businesses, food and cultures that make Norwich such an interesting and welcoming city.
I’d really love to feature some of your community as part of the project. The idea is to create a short, friendly video introducing the community and the people behind it – showing a little of what you do, telling your story and giving people a reason to come and attend one of your events whilst exploring the different cultures we have in Norwich. Email for further information.

Request from Spixworth Cubleader:
Helen Dickerson, hldickerson35@gmail.com
I would like to be able to broaden her cubs’ (aged 9-11) understanding of different faiths. Do we have any contacts of places they could go or people who could visit? They meet on a Tuesday evening.
I am happy to do a preparatory general session with them, or accompany any of you who can go.

Thanks to Phil for his helpful presentation on Religious Persecution which is below.
Mosque and Community Centre Planned
For those of us who attended the Ramadan evening meal with Norwich muslims, Sirajul has informed me there is currently a planning application for continued use of that building as a combined worship and community centre.
