A special SIFRE Forum of Faiths Meeting at the Unitarian Meeting House, Friars Street, Ipswich, IP1 1TD.

A Debate on the reaction to the Archbishop of Canterburys Lecture
Civil and Religious Law in England: a religious perspective
delivered by the Archbishop at the Royal Courts of Justice on Thursday 7th February.

SIFRE says,

Speakers from the Christian and Muslim Faiths will debate Rowan Williams thoughts on the accommodation of some aspects of Sharia Law by the English legal system and the misunderstandings and misrepresentations of his proposals by the media and politicians.

As this event has been widely publicised and will probably be covered by the local media, some Humanists might be interested in it.
