Silent and respectful meditation, a stand against extremism
Posted on | November 3, 2012 | No Comments
Very regretably this event has had to be cancelled owing to police advice that it might be targeted by the EDL as part of their visit to Norwich
The organisers would like to apologise for this and stress that this clearly underlines the extreme nature of the EDLthe purpose of whose visit is meant to be officially “to uphold freedom of speech”.
NIFL would like to say that this clearly seems to indicate the contrary
Text of original event below:
Norwich Interfaith Link invites people to join in a half hour of silent meditation and reflection at United Reformed Church Princes St 2.30-3pm Saturday 10th November inspired by the following statement:
As members of the Norwich Interfaith Link committee we seek to emphasise what unites us in our common humanity and uphold the equality and dignity of all. We regret that misunderstanding of religion has often in the past been a cause of division and conflict, and sadly there are still those who seek to create division between people of differing backgrounds and creeds. We meet here today to affirm in silent prayer and meditation the greater truth and unity that lies beyond the reach of words.
