Dear Attendee,
I would like to provide you with specific details about the venue of our event next week and also, by this email, confirm that you are registered for the event.
Change of Venue
The event, which was initially going to be held in the Parliament, had to be changed at the last minute due to the need for Parliamentary business to be carried out in the the room that had been already booked by two Members of Parliament. This was unfortunate, but considering we are close to the dissolution of the Parliament at the end of this month and that election time is drawing close, it is understandable that the Parliament’s business has priority.
Fortunately we have found an excellent location close by –
The Council Room
Church House
Church of England Headquarters
Dean’s Yard
London SW1P 3NZ
Access to this venue is via the Porter’s Lodge of Westminster Abbey. Go to the Porter’s Lodge at the gate of Westminster Abbey and inform the Porter that you are attending a meeting at Church House. The main entrance is directly across Dean’s Yard. Closest tube is Westminster.
Start of Event
The meeting will begin promptly at 2pm and we ask that you arrive by 1.30pm to be certain you find the place and can be seated.

The speakers for the event are as follows:
Chair:
Rabbi Reuben Livingstone, Chair of Imams and Rabbis Council for the United Kingdom and Senior Jewish Chaplain to HM Forces
