Bring and Braai in the Park this Sunday

BEREA residents are invited to get to know their community at a Bring & Braai in the Park event on Sunday, 13 October from 11am to 2pm.

The event is being hosted by the Berea Interfaith Forum at Berea Park for communities of different faith groups and others on the Berea to get to know each other over a shared meal. Those who attend will also get a chance to meet new councillor, Charmaine Clayton.

“It’s all in aid of fostering better relationships in our diversity,” said Rev David Barbout of Musgrave Methodist Church.

The Musgrave Mosque representative on the Berea Interfaith Forum,  Imran Bobat noted that in the light of the new Mosque development on St. Thomas Road, it was a wonderful opportunity to meet neighbouring communities, share common concerns and to dispel age-old misgivings and prejudices. He pointed out the soup kitchen efforts, interfaith educational forums held and outreach programmes for orphaned and vulnerable children had laid a wonderful foundation for the Forum in helping to uplift the community on the Berea.
