Special events
Special events are helpful every year or so to increase the profile of
the group.
| To mark Bedford Council of Faiths’
recent acquisition of charity status a gathering of 120 people
attended a celebration at The Place, Bradgate Road. A variety of
food generously given by the different communities was enjoyed by
guests and music contributed by different faiths provided a
tapestry of background sound. There were speeches by the High
Sheriff of Bedfordshire and the Director of the Inter Faith
Network who provided a perspective on the national inter faith
scene. Members of ten different faiths gave presentations
conveying their essential beliefs and values. The chair of Bedford
Council of Faiths presided over the event, inviting organisations
to link with BCoF, and to benefit from its experience and
knowledge of local religious and cultural diversity. |
