The Peacemakers involves informal social meetings approximately every two months for people from different religions (or none) to get together and share a meal, usually brought in by those attending.
Speakers are regularly invited to talk about peacemaking efforts taking place in the Holy Land (Jerusalem and the neighbouring territories), and we have worked together on joint projects related to the Middle East including a visit by 26 community workers to visit the Holy Land.

Trip to Jerusalem 2008
Inspired by the visit from the Late Shaikh Bhukhari and Eliyahu McClean 26 people from the Muslim and Christian communities of Gloucestershire visited the Holy land in 2008.
The trip included visits to the key sites in Jerusalem and to various community projects, plus to Hebron/Al-Khalil where Prophet Abraham is buried and to Bethlehem. Unfortunately, the 2009 trip was dramatically terminated, but that's another story!
