For those of you that don’t know, this Saturday (27th June 2009), is the Newcastle Walk for Peace.
This event has been organised by the Newcastle Council of Faiths and the Newcastle City for Peace initiative, and is a walk through the west end where, four places of worship will be visited. Its an opportunity to learn about different faiths and the values that we all share.
The walk will start at the Hindu Temple on the West Road, and will visit the Church of the Venerable Bede, also on the West Road. We will then move on to the Newcastle Central Mosque on Elswick Road, and finish at the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Tindle Close, where lunch will be served.
Joining us on the Walk for Peace will be the Lord Mayor of Newcastle, Councillor Mike Cookson, and his wife the Lady Mayoress, and the leader of Newcastle City Council, Councillor John Shipley.
Myself and my wife will be on the walk and I hope many more join us.
God Bless
Michael
