EDINBURGH INTER-FAITH COMMUNITY MEAL
To support and strengthen the 'community of interest' in inter-faith engagement and encounter the Edinburgh Inter-Faith Association in partnership with St John's Church is looking to launch a monthly informal gathering for an evening meal. This gathering is for all those interested in being part of a growing community of faiths in friendship.
For this monthly group evening meal to be a success it will need regular volunteers who can take turns at food preparation, cooking, serving and cleaning. If you want to be involved please email Tom at tom@eifa.org.uk
We would also like to invite individuals and other groups from within the wider Edinburgh community to be our guests and receive a meal as a gift and as an act of service and hospitality.
Next Community Meal is Monday 5th April 2010 @ 6pm
