Take a deeper look at Europe’s Migration in the Christian point of view. \nHere is the description of event from\, https://www.unionchapel.org.uk/event/27-10-2018-those-who-dream/  : \nClaude Moraes MEP – Labour MEP and Chair of the European Parliament’s Civil Liberties\, Justice and Home Affairs Committee\nDorottya Nagy – Professor of Missiology\, Protestant University of Amsterdam\nAlfredo Abad—President Evangelical Church of Spain and Secretary of the Comisión de Ayuda al Refugiado\nJerry Kramer – Vicar General of Zanzibar Heather Roy – Secretary General\, Eurodiaconia\nTsaurayi Mapfeka – Methodist Church of Zimbabwe\nSimon Jones – Director of Ministerial Training\, Spurgeon’s College\nDanny Sriskandarajah – General Secretary\, Civicus\nNadine Daniel – National Refugee Coordinator\, Church of England\nJenny Brown – Christian Aid Tatiana Garavito – Society of Friends \nA theological event which will: \nHonour Christian work for justice for refugees and migrants;\nRaise our eyes beyond crisis responses;\nSeek guidance in the sources of our faith; and\nAsk ourselves what we can do better\, what more we can do and what we should do next.\nIt will engage Christian activists and those with curious minds who are committed to justice for refugees and migrants. Focusing on European responsibilities and standing up for the rights of those excluded by unjust systems. \nChristians identify with the Jewish experience of exile and diaspora and the longing for home. This is both enriching and painful. God travels with the migrant spreading seeds of faith and hope in spite of challenges. God also travels with the Church in its journeying toward the Kingdom. \nOur contemporary world puts intense restrictions on those who dream of a better future for themselves and their families. Migration provokes hostility and the increasingly hostile environment is profoundly worrying for the Christian conscience. Dreamers are those who hope for a change of fortune and a home\, where they belong. \nThe day will: \nChallenge UK isolationism;\nDeep dive into biblical conceptions within the Hebrew and early church experience of migration;\nHear how theological reflection can move into political and social change;\nAllow participants to share action.\nChristian initiatives will be showcased and there will be encouragement to develop local action and national campaigning. The event will be creative and engaging\, fast moving and reflective. \nREGISTER to ensure a seat URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/those-who-dream-christian-reflections-on-migration/ LOCATION:Union Chapel\, Union Chapel\, Compton Terrace\,\, Islington\, London\, N1 2UN.\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Charity Events,History,People ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/42126811_2173958272638433_3383360405819621376_o.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Union Chapel":MAILTO:events@unionchapel.org.uk GEO:51.5447647;-0.102481 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Union Chapel Union Chapel Compton Terrace Islington London N1 2UN.

As an architect\, researcher and lecturer living and working in East London\, Saleem focuses on community architecture and places of worship. Not content with lumping in a couple of minarets and being done with it\, Saleem believes we can use mosque architecture to merge elements of British and Muslim identity\, so he’s been speaking to and making harmonious designs that connect with both Muslim communities and their surroundings. He says: “We do have to generate our own architectural language which reflects our European Muslim identity.” \nWe are thankful to the Barakat Trust and The Pakistan Society for their support. This even is part of the core porgramme of the London Festival of Architecture. \n \nGeneral Admission – £10\, Asia House Members – 50% off\, Concessions £8\, Students – FREE URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/the-british-mosque-an-architectural-and-social-history/ LOCATION:Asia House\, 63 New Cavendish Street\, London\, W1G 7LP CATEGORIES:Architecture,Arts,Debates,History,Religion and Spirituality,Seminars,Society ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Cover1265x654.jpg GEO:51.5196236;-0.146172 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Asia House 63 New Cavendish Street London W1G 7LP;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=63 New Cavendish Street:geo:-0.146172,51.5196236 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20190623T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20190623T153000 DTSTAMP:20260615T040432 CREATED:20190618T145516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190620T022623Z UID:30053374-1561284000-1561303800@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:Free crash course in archaeology at the British Museum DESCRIPTION:I am a qualified archaeologist with 15 years’ experience as a tour guide. I have designed a new tour of the British Museum in the form of 1-day crash course in archaeology and the history of civilization\, which I will be launching officially in the coming weeks. \nBefore I launch\, I would like to try out the tour on some people before I start charging £40 per person. If you would like to come along for free this Sunday\, please email me at spiritofdiscoverytours@gmail.com with your name\, phone number and the number of people in your group\, and I will email you back with details of where to meet. \nI’ve put a lot of work into developing this tour and it should be a fun and educational day out. All I ask in return is some is some feedback on the tour at the end. \nWhat to expect?\nYou’ll follow in the footsteps of the great archaeologists\, relic hunters and explorers who acquired the treasures of the British Museum\, and learn about their adventures and the hazards they braved to make their astounding discoveries. \nYou’ll get to grips with the history of human civilisation\, exploring our earliest origins in Africa\, the first civilisations in Mesopotamia and the first cities\, and the great empires of Egypt\, Assyria\, Greece and Rome\, and what happened after they collapsed. \nAlong the way\, you’ll tour the British Museum’s most famous galleries\, including Ancient Egypt and Assyria\, Ancient Greece and Rome\, the Vikings and the Aztecs\, discovering world-famous artefacts such as the Rosetta Stone\, the Parthenon Marbles and the Lewis Chessmen. \nYou’ll also have some fun learning to play one of the world’s most ancient board games\, The Royal Game of Ur\, whose rules were deciphered by British Museum scholars. \nAfter lunch you’ll get down to finding out how we know what we know. You’ll hear about the geniuses who decoded ancient languages such as Egyptian hieroglyphs and Sumerian cuneiform\, the world’s earliest written language. You’ll learn the basics of these writing systems and try your hand at writing your name in these Egyptian hieroglyphs. \nYou’ll then get to grips with the science behind archaeology\, finding out how ancient objects are dated\, how ancient sites come to be buried and puzzle over some of the mysteries of the ancient world that still elude us.

The noted Bharatanatyam artist and actor will be joined by Chitra Sundaram\, a prominent figure in the UK dance community\, as curator of the evening. They will explore the narratives\, the women\, and the repertoire of ‘Sadir Āttam’: the command performance of the 17th to the early 20th century that was presented in durbars and salons for royalty\, aristocracy and officers of The Raj. \n\n \nThis event presents the her-story of the Sadir dancer; her repertoire and her reputation as an articulate\, charming and sophisticated performer. Swarnamalya will share the experiences of seeking out hereditary dancers; piecing together closely guarded anecdotes and repertoire pieces. Nearly eighty-five years after Sadir disappearing into Bharatanatyam\, we begin to embrace both\, joining the discourse of multiple histories. The discussion and demonstration will both trace and move beyond the narratives of erasure and caste politics behind present-day Bharatanatyam. \n  \nSpeakers:\nPicture Taken from https://thtsiteseminars.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/dance-at-srirangam/\nDr Swarnamalya Ganesh is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer\, an Indian actress and TV anchor. Over the years\, she has anchored several shows\, acted in films across various languages and performed on many stages all over the world. She has a Masters in Bharatanatyam and PhD in Dance History from Madras University. \nChitra Sundaram is a dance/theatre choreographer\, Bharatanatyam performer\, mentor and educator.

More frequent in London than in any other town\, these morbid spectacles attracted thousands of onlookers at locations across the capital. \n\n\n\nFrom Smithfield to Southwark\, from Banqueting House to Newgate Prison\, executions became embedded in London’s landscape and people’s lives. Even today\, hints of this uncomfortable past can still be seen across the city. \n\n\n\nFrom October\, the Museum of London is bringing the lives and legacies of those who died and those who witnessed executions first hand to a major new exhibition. Executions will use a range of fascinating objects\, paintings and projections\, including the vest said to have been worn by King Charles I when he was executed\, to show how entwined this form of punishment is in the history of London. It will also reveal the rarely told human stories behind these events\, looking at the role not just royalty but all Londoners played as both spectators and participants. \n\n\n\nThis is your chance to discover how over nearly 700 years\, public executions came to shape the city we know today. \nTickets URL:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/event/executions-opening/ LOCATION:Museum of London\,\, Museum of London\, 150 London Wall\, EC2Y 5HN\, London\, EC2Y 5HN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Events in London,Exhibitions,Family Activities,History ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://eventsforlondon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Museum-of-London.jpg GEO:51.5176183;-0.0967782 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Museum of London Museum of London 150 London Wall EC2Y 5HN London EC2Y 5HN United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Museum of London\, 150 London Wall\, EC2Y 5HN:geo:-0.0967782,51.5176183 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201101T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201104T100000 DTSTAMP:20260615T040432 CREATED:20201022T062531Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201104T190755Z UID:30056087-1604224800-1604484000@eventsforlondon.co.uk SUMMARY:Havel DESCRIPTION:New biopic contrasting Václav Havel’s moral stand as a human rights activist with his flawed private life\, buiding up a captivating portrayal of the man who has become an icon.UK Premiere. \n\n\n\nDir. Slávek Horák\, Czech Republic 2020\, English subtitlesCast: Viktor Dvořák\, Anna Geislerová\, Martin Hofmann\, Barbora Seidlová \n\n\n\nHavel\, up close and personal: such is the new biopic by director Slávek Horák of the critically esteemed Home Care. Focusing on the period 1968 – 1989 and Havel´s personal life\, Horák explores Havel´s metamorphosis from internationally celebrated but persecuted playwright to banned and jailed human rights defender and finally to president of Czechoslovakia. But it is his relationship with his first wife Olga\, suffering from her husband’s infidelities\, that is at the centre of the story. Situations from his life such as the secret police witnessing his failed attempt to resolve a love tringle in a restaurant mirror his absurdist plays\, provide humour and emotion while Horák’s imaginative use of actual theatre settings to stage key moments from Havel’s confrontations with communist power document his public persona. An excellent cast including Viktor Dvořák capturing Havel’s moments of uncertainty and weakness\, and Anna Geislerová as direct and decisive Olga\, complement a portrayal depicting not an icon but a flawed man who steps out of his comfort zone to become politically engaged. Watch out for news footage from Havel’s life under the end credits including the Rolling Stones in Prague castle. \n\n\n\nNominated for The Czech Lions 2020 Best Actress\, Best Actor\, Best Screenplay and the Czech Film Critics Awards. \n\n\n\n“It is the personal life that helps the viewer to experience the story. Because few people can identify with being jailed or fighting against the Communists\, as Havel did. But everybody can identify with a marital crisis or relationship problems\, which Havel – like all of us – had with Olga.” Slávek Horák \n\n\n\nThe film will be available to rent (from UK only) for £6.99 from 10:00 on Sunday 1 November GMT till 10:00 on Wednesday 4 November 2020 GMT on Czech Centre Vimeo on Demand via https://vimeo.com/ondemand/havel \n\n\n\nBONUS: Q&A WITH DIRECTOR SLÁVEK HORÁK \n\n\n\nOrganised by the Czech Centre as part of Made in Prague ON/OFF Festival.

In June 2021\, Contemporary Art Society\, on behalf of the Corporation of London\, commissioned Robert Kingham (presenter of Pagan London) to lead a new walk delving into its layers of history. The walk does not go into the Museum itself\, but rather around and under it: and the stories\, buildings\, archaeology\, and people whose lives it has touched are every bit as rich and effusive as the collections within. \nOn this two-and-a-half-hour walk\, you will encounter the lost alleys of Barnaby Rudge\, the Infirmary for the Relief of the Poor Afflicted with Diseases of the Rectum\, modernist dreamers\, the brimstone doctrine of the Aldersgate meeting houses. \nIncluded in the guided walk would be learning about the sieges of London\, the well-water that cures drunkenness\, the biggest fire between 1666 and 1940\, the hermit of Cripplegate\, and the oldest Jewish cemetery in England.

It´s autumn 1968\, and in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia\, the Australian runner Ron Clarke visits the retired Zátopek\, his friend and role model\, to help him overcome a crisis in his sporting career. With Zátopek amid his own marital and personal problems\, they walk down memory lane recalling Zátopek’s athletic career from Zlín factory worker who had never taken part in a race to Olympic hero in Helsinki\, while mapping the inner journey of a single-minded man whose unprecedented athletic success made him part of Communist propaganda with devastating results. \n \nWonderfully portrayed by lead actors Václav Neužil and Martha Issová\, it is the relationship between Zátopek and his wife Dana\, champion javelin thrower\, which is at the heart of the story as past and present alternate\, emotions and adrenalin run high culminating in a breathtaking reenactment of Zátopek’s 1952 Olympic gold hat-trick in Helsinki. \nDavid Ondříček\, CZ / SK 2021\, 131´\, English subtitles \nAudience prize winner at the 2021 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival \nCzech entry in the best international film category at the 2022 Oscars \nPart of the 25th Made in Prague Festival (7 Oct – 10 Dec 2021) \n6.30 pm – doors open \n7 pm Zatopek (no commercials) \nSeats will be allocated on a first come\, first served basis.
