Reflections on Peace 

About 22 people gathered in the evening
at The Tank, off New Street, Ashford
on Armistice Day, 11 November

Aims of the group are to:

  • Meet people of all faiths and none and build friendships.
  • Celebrate the contribution that all faiths and none make to communities in Ashford.
  • Increase understanding between people of different beliefs.

Short reflections, poems or prayers were voiced from the traditions of:
Baha‘i, Buddhism, Church of England, Hindu, Humanist, Islam, Methodist, Unitarian – and the RAF.

Afterwards the group walked to MacNades for further socialising.
