Church & Mosque: Who Needs Us?!
St Philip's Church, Evington, Leicester, 14 October 2008
This event combines the Christian Muslim Forum's national 'Spiritual Guidance' initiative with the local experience of the St Philip's Centre and the Karimia Institute, plus a concern for the East Midlands region. It is taking place thanks to the generous support of the Baptist Union Tithe Fund and also has the backing of Government Office East Midlands.
We plan to find out what Christian and Muslim leaders and community workers can do together for the benefit of the region and the various communities. As this event is funded by a grant there is no charge for attending, though we encourage you to make a donation.
