Wondering if there are better ways to deal with religious and cultural diversity? If part of God's mission for the church is to discern where God is already at action in the community around us then that's something worth wondering about!
Here are the details of a program being run by Griffith Uni's Centre for Interfaith and Cultural Dialogue and Believing Women for a Culture of Peace. You can download a flyer here.
Engaging with Religious & Cultural Diversity
Friday 25 – Sunday 27 September, 2015

Facilitated by two highly qualified and experienced Scottish Muslim women: Farkhanda Chaudhry OBE and Ghizala Avan.
Farkhanda Chaudhry OBE moved to Glasgow from Pakistan as a small child. She was the first Muslim woman magistrate in Scotland and is currently working at a corporate level in a public agency. With a background in equalities and community development, working in local, national and international settings, Farkhanda was awarded an MBE and named International Woman of the Year 2005 in Switzerland. Active in interfaith work for over 30 years, she is a
founding member of the Scottish Interfaith Council (now Interfaith Scotland).
Ghizala Avan is a psychologist with many years’ experience in community development. She has worked in the public sector on issues such as equality, violence against women, poverty and health.
