If it's August it must be Greenbelt.
Presence and Engagement did not have a stall this year but that doesn't mean we weren't there. Task Group member, Revd Bonnie Evans Hills, demonstrated Scriptural Reasoning with friends invited by the Coexist Foundation. An Associate Partner of this year's festival, Coexist sponsored a number of talks and sessions on topics around inter faith relations.

RESOURCES have an added heading - artefacts. At a recent 'Theology on a summer's Evening' session, in a series on Relationships and Marriage, contributions from Jewish and Muslim guest speakers were enlivened by an opportunity to look at a ketubah, demonstration of how a tallit is used for the wedding canopy and samples of wedding service booklets from ceremonies for three or four different faiths. The Croydon Faith Education Resources Library is the only featured resource in this section at present but if you have other suggestions please contact pen@theology-centre.org
