Exploring Forgiveness: An Exhibition of Stories and Programme of Events
8 – 18 February 2016
During ten days in February the London Inter Faith Centre will be hosting the acclaimed exhibition of the Forgiveness Project, a thought provoking collection of arresting images and personal narratives exploring forgiveness in the face of atrocity. Drawing together voices from South Africa, Rwanda, USA, Middle East and UK, the exhibition examines forgiveness as a very human healing process, a path out of victimhood and, ultimately, a journey of hope. The exhibition and programme of events are open to people of all faiths and none. Entrance to the exhibition is free. You can see the type of stories included in the exhibition here: http://theforgivenessproject.com/stories/
The exhibition is most suitable for young people aged 14yrs and older and groups can book specific, private viewing times where there will also be someone on hand to answer questions. Group leaders and facilitators are welcome to contact me beforehand to discuss their group’s visit.
The full programme, including an event with Forgiveness Project Founder Marina Cantacuzino, and two speakers who have shared their story with the Project, can be seen here: http://londoninterfaith.org.uk/study/exploring-forgiveness-an-exhibition-of-stories-and-programme-of-events-8th-18th-february-2016/

Volunteers please for St Anne’s First World War history project
To mark the centenary of the First World War, St Anne’s church is inviting individuals, families or small groups each to research one name from the brass plaque which commemorates 31 men from the parish who died in, or as a result of, the war. The plaque was taken from the old church, is now at the top of the stairs in St Anne’s. It is hoped to collect the research together into a book.
If you are interested in doing some detective work and volunteering to take a name, please use the following link to find out more: World War 1 Commemoration Project.
