REPORT OF CROSS-PARTY WORKING GROUP ON RELIGIOUS HATRED
Annex B Participation of Faith Representatives
We invited representatives of various faiths to participate in one of our meetings, in May 2002. We recognised that it was not practical to seek representation from all Scotland's faiths. We took the advice of the Scottish Churches Parliamentary Officer, the Scottish Inter Faith Council and Action of Churches Together in Scotland to ensure the broadest possible level of representation while ensuring that numbers were manageable. We hope to gather the views of the wider religious "constituency" during the consultation on this report. The following individuals were invited to attend in May:
Mr Graham Blount, Scottish Churches Parliamentary Officer
Mr Ephraim Borowski, Convenor of the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities
Sister Isabel Smyth, Secretary, Scottish Inter Faith Council
Ms Maggie Lunan, Church of Scotland, Church and Nation Committee
Mrs Serwan Bhogal, Scottish Sikh Women's Association
Mr Jeremy Balfour, Evangelical Alliance, Scotland
Mr Tim Duffy, Acting National Secretary, Roman Catholic Justice & Peace Commission
Dr Anwar, Central Mosque, Glasgow
Imam Abdul Ghafoor, Central Mosque, Glasgow
Mr John Deighan, Roman Catholic Parliamentary Officer, and the President of the Hindu Temple, Edinburgh, were invited but were unable to attend.
