Revd Clive Fowle and ‘In Spite of our Differences’ Talk
May 7 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Clive Fowle is a Methodist minister who served in the Wolverton area between 1983 and 1989. During this time, amongst other things, he established the Milton Keynes – Leipzig church link because of his interest in working for reconciliation between East and West Europe. Since leaving Milton Keynes and whilst working in Birmingham and Rugby, he became involved in work in the former Yugoslavia, in supporting groups in the region, mainly in Croatia, who were working for reconciliation between people from the different religious and ethnic factions, whose differences had pulled the country apart into a number of separate states.
He has recently written a book about his experiences of this work – ‘In Spite of our Differences – Healing the Hurts of War’. Through various workshops and visits between churches in the UK and the region, he recounts the challenges he faced when he first got involved in this work of reconciliation, and of the positive outcomes which have been achieved over time.
Clive will be speaking at the monthly meeting of Interfaith MK on Thursday 7th May, 7.30pm at St George the Martyr Church, Wolverton. The meeting is open to people of all faiths and none.
There is no charge for the meeting, and it will be followed by refreshments and opportunities for further discussion with those present at the meeting.
