Interfaith Women’s Group – March meeting

Leave a comment

After a highly successful first meeting, the next Interfaith Women’s Group will take place at St Mark’s Church on Saturday, March 25th, 2.30-4pm. This time the group will be talking boundaries – how we set them, why they are important, whether societal expectations give women more of a challenge in setting them than men face. There will also be opportunities to talk about faith journeys.

This is a joint venture between the parish and Lajna Ima’illah, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Women’s Association and takes place on the fourth Saturday of each month at St Mark’s.

The group discusses topics that most concern us today, such as social media, gender-based violence, inclusion, education, equality, bringing up children and many more. There is also plenty of tea and cake!

Women of all faiths and none are welcome.
