On the Monday evening of Methodist Conference their was an Inter Faith Relations event. The title of the event - which was based on an extract from the 1999 Conference statement 'Called to Love and Praise' - was 'Personal and theological reflections on the spiritual journey: 'evangelism, social action and engaging with people of differing cultures and religious faiths'.
Christine Elliott, Strategic Leader for External Relations
who chaired the event and Barbara Glasson
About twenty people gathered in the Lord Mayor's Banqueting Hall of Portsmouth Guildhall where, after an excellent vegetarian buffet supper, we listened to the reflections of Barbara Glasson, Director of the Touchstone Centre in Bradford and Imran Malik, who was brought up in Pakistan and has recently completed his studies at Cliff College in preparation for becoming a Methodist presbyter. There was then a time of conversation where those present shared with others insights that they had gained from the two speakers and reflected on their own spiritual journeys.
