A few words about our own events
Thanks to everyone for the tremendous response (over 100) for the 20 places at Learning to Lead Together. We were really sorry that we couldn't accommodate more, we aim to respond personally to those who expressed an interest but who didn't make it onto the shortlist. However, there are plenty of free (and we do mean free) spaces at Church and Mosque:Who Needs Us?! . There is also Living Faithful Family Lives (various prices) nr Crewe or Friendship 'n' Faith on Campus at Brighton (£35).
As ever we are very grateful for any donations.
Warm wishes for the last days of Ramadan and Harvest
