Sunday 18 November 2007: Inter-Faith Civic Celebration of Community, 2.00
p.m., Guildhall, Cambridge; theme: "The meaning of life"
Faith groups are invited to participate in this year's Civic Celebration
of Community to be held on Sunday 18 November at 2.00 p.m. in the Small
Hall of the Guildhall, Cambridge. The theme this year is "The meaning of
life." The Celebration will last about one hour and will be followed by
refreshments.
The Mayor of Cambridge will be present to demonstrate the important role
religion has in our community.
The Cambridge Inter-Faith Group, Cambridge City Council Community
Development, and the Mayor, encourage Cambridge religious groups
(especially the larger ones) to participate with a reading, a song, a
poem, or other contribution. There is time for about twelve
contributions.
The Civic Celebration in Cambridge aims to bring members of different
faith groups together in a spirit of co-operation and mutual acceptance.
It also brings the importance of faith-based communities in Cambridge into
public awareness.
We want the Celebration of Community to send out a positive signal, one of
respect for people of different beliefs and one that shows that we are
part of the wider community of Cambridge.
Please contact the organiser, David Wilman (74 Girton Road, Girton,
Cambridge CB3 0LN; ddw@...; tel. Cambridge 276912), as soon as
possible if your group would like to participate or is likely to wish to
participate.
Please also help in advertising this event. If anyone would like to
prepare a poster, please let David know.
