Meeting and talking together

'The momentum of the moment can be used in a positive way – it has caused us all to be meeting together and talking together for a start'… was the feeling expressed at a meeting at Leeds Civic Hall last week called by civic leaders and attended by some one hundred interfaith and community leaders
  • There was a good spread of faiths, men, women, civic representatives and police
  • All were trying to seek positive ways forward for the city from the tensions due to local connections with the London bombings
  • This was against a backdrop of police activity and international media encampment in the inner city areas of Burley and Beeston, and underreporting of incidents through fear

  • Evelyn M. Shire & Eudora Pascall
