Festival of Spirituality and Peace

You are invited to the launch event of the 2007 Festival of Spirituality & Peace on Sunday 5 August at 6pm at St John's, Princes Street, Edinburgh (see attached invitation).

Over the following three weeks we will be welcoming speakers such as Rabbi Lionel Blue, Mairead Corrigan, Charles Handy, Tony Benn, Abbot Christopher Jamison, Gillian Slovo, Julain Baggini, and the Hon Judge Baltasar Garzon (who indicted General Pinochet). In all there will be over 100 events including conversation, prayer and meditation, art, film, drama, dance and music - and 50p of every ticket sold will go to the charity Mary's Meals. The full programme can be viewed at www.festivalofspirituality.org.uk .

We also have a parallel youth peace programme of young people from 6 countries; and invitation only round table events on peace issues, with some speakers, which may interest UNA members.
