FTiL website now live

Good news today - the website has gone live! It took us a long time, but I think we are going to be very pleased with the result.

There are some further features that are built into the design (by Ripplenet Web Design) including a Forum and Webspace for FTiL Member Organisations. These will go live during 2012.

National Inter Faith Week

We are coming to the end of the 3rd National Inter Faith Week, initiated and facilitated by the Inter Faith Network for the UK with some support from the Department of Communities and Local Government.

The impact this year seems to have increased with some quite good coverage in the national media - see for example The Times of Saturday 19th November.

The FTiL event took place on Monday 21st and was a collaboration with Lambeth Safeguarding Children Board. More than 50 members of Lambeth's faith communities attended at the Karibu Centre.

Other events in Lambeth during the week included Baroness Neuberger's book launch at South London Liberal Synagogue, a Lambeth Council Staff Faith Forum lunchtime event and South London Inter Faith Group's monthly Thursday lunch meeting.
