Inspiration

I've had a busy few weeks and next month is just going to get a lot busier. Whilst trying to keep my head above water and cope with the constant flow of news (most of it bad) I thought I would just give a bit of space on some good and inspiring peace-related things happening...

• Leap Confronting Conflict's work on gangs
  
• Peace Direct's support for the Nepal Rapid Response Fund
• CAAT's campaign for the UK to provide legal assistance to the US' BAE Systems investigation
• The forthcoming (27th October) big blockade taking place at Aldermsaton
• The work at St Ethelburga's centre for Reconciliation and Peace on exploring religious difference

And last, but by no means least, I'm looking forward to the weekend NFPB meeting in Perth where we'll be sharing our new DVD on 'Building Peace: Tackling Racism' , considering priorities for our work on Challenging Militarism, hearing from Kevin Franz of QPSW. And then the next day some of us will go over to Faslane to join with Friends from Glasgow and other parts of West Scotland for a Meeting for Worship outside the base.
