The Autumn Event
began as a way of celebrating United
Nations Day on October 24th.
It aims to bring people of all backgrounds together. on a Sunday
afternoon to make friends and learn about each other. Representatives
of different faiths are invited to speak for few moments on a
shared theme followed by a few shared moments of reflection. Each
meeting will convey a range of perspectives leading to better
understanding of each other.
Traditionally Autumn
Events have focused on peace related issues although over time
a number of shared interests, themes and perceptions have emerged.
The meeting is followed
by a bring and share vegetarian tea. There is also an exhibition
of artifacts depicting some of the many different faith traditions
in Reading and many opportunities to ask questions. The Autumn
Event is open to everyone.
