Celebrating Diversity

We were delighted to be invited to partner in putting on this event, as old friends Heather-Jane and Isabel explained:

We are wondering if St Ethelwolds would like to partner with us in a music and storytelling event, bringing faith groups together. One of our peace partners, Hanna Yaffe, is over from Jerusalem, so we are building our events around her participation. We hope to bring communities together to create relationships, harmony and understanding.
Doesn’t it sound good? – do join us on Tuesday 31st if you can, and do share the posters and invitation with others.
If you want to reserve a space in advance please email Heather-Jane at   info@spiritofpeace.co.uk.  On the night seats will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
