RUNNYMEDE & SPELTHORNE FAITH FORUM:
This is a new venture, gathering together people of faith from across the two boroughs.
The first meeting takes place on Saturday 23rd February at 6pm at Noah’s Ark, the Mosque in Ashford, and will be led by Simon Perfect, from the Christian think-tank Theos, and Iman Sulayman van Ael. They will be looking at the state of faith in our society now, in what can feel like a time of crisis for belief, and considering the ways in which we could reconnect with the spiritual life. There will be a shared meal after the event. For more details speak to Chris or call 07949 623837. The postal code for the Mosque is TW14 8RW.
