Over 60 people attended Dr Ashraf Choudary's MP presentation on a Muslim perspective on Faith and Politics at Canterbury University tonight. Thanks to Omar El-Hadad, Clare Pattison and Hugh Perry of the Inter-Faith branch for organising this.

Hi Adrienne, good to meet you! By Labour's faith dimension I meant those of faith, whatever that faith might be, within the Labour Party.

Hi there and welcome to this group - we are working away with Winnie Laban as our spokesperson, who is going to lift the profile of the Inter-Faith branch of the Party at the Conference this year. Thanks for joining this group and I hope that we can set up branches around the country. Labour's faith dimension is more extensive than people might realise!

Kia Ora Tatou, Talofa Lava, it was good to meet many of you at the Conference, and sign some of you up!

The possibilities are endless with this branch, as we celebrate our faiths as members of the Labour Party.
