Bishops in Action - The Bishops in
Action website is a free resource for
all schools. It has been put together by
a group of RE Advisers based in the
South East in order to raise awareness
of the Lambeth Conference in July and
August 2008 but it will be of use beyond
this to help with learning about and
learning from the role of bishops. We
would like to thank all of those who
have given us grants so that website can
be free to all. We encourage everyone to
publicise the website as widely possible
so that pupils and their teachers know
something about a bishop in time for the
once-in-ten years Lambeth Conference in
Canterbury later in the summer

Queen’s Park in Bedford
is rich in both culture and religion, with Christians,
Muslims and Sikhs living together in harmony. Our three
faith communities have places of worship within three
hundred metres of each other, and faith leaders have
developed a ‘Faith Tour’ for school visits.
The tour starts at All Saints Parish
Church, moves on to Jamia Masjid Gulshane Baghdad
(Westbourne Road Mosque) and concludes at Guru Nanak
Gurdwara. Each stop includes a tour of the building, an
interactive presentation, and the chance to ask questions.
