Was this part of the multi-faith walk?

I think it was a good idea, and hope it enlightened people.

Again I knew nothing of it but would have welcomed the opportunity to visit. I really believe that now is the time too be open and attempt to understand each others cultures and religions, by this I mean any and all cultures and religions in the area prepared to open it’s arms and welcome people.

Thank you very much, that'll save a few bob. But don't be reading any of the dodgy stuff down the phone. By the way, Can you ring my Mother as she reads it after I've finished with it. :)

Re: Open day at the Grimshaw st mosque...

What was the project?

Our church is in Blackburn and it's had a few open days off it's own bat.

As well as being advertised in the Observer, it was also on Lancashire Friend's website, that I posted last week.

Here is what it said.

Re: Open day at the Grimshaw st mosque...

Oh right, so it was part of a walk from St. Peter's on Sunday afternoon?

Unfortunately we're just about leaving church in Blackburn at that time so wouldn't have been back anyway. :(

Maybe I'll get another chance in the future. It's good to see things first hand rather than what other people tell you other people do, or a small representative group which isn't really all that representative giving their version which might not be everybody's version. We get that a lot and people end up believing all sort of weird things that aren't real.

Higher Antley St mosque did a mini open day thingy for the teachers and governors once because a lot of the school's pupils go there.

Re: Open day at the Grimshaw st mosque...

yeah it seemed to b really quite good - they had power point presentations set up - they had assigned ppl to show non-muslims around and explain the what was goin on during prayer etc

and they served food!

I'd have gone for a bit of the henna hand painting if I'd had the chance.

I hope there is a next time and maybe it could be posted here on AccyWeb? I'm glad I'm not the only one who managed to have missed knowing. I don't feel quite so dopey now.
