BUILDING BRIDGES

A Call to Action from Morgana West.
​ February 2018.
We’re planning to organise another special day for everyone in Glastonbury to celebrate our amazing and diverse community together. We want everyone to feel welcome and to want to get involved.  We’ve got some ideas, and we’d like to know what you think. We also want to hear your ideas! Please help us by completing the survey - it will take only a moment or two. 

​PS - We're going to apply for a Big Lottery Fund "Awards for All" grant so that this event will be free for everyone to attend!

Alongside the Glastonbury Unity Candle, we have worked tirelessly encouraging mutual understanding, respect and cooperation. Working under the ethos of Unity through Diversity  we have developed several events across the town with the aim of bringing people together, encouraging positive dialogue and building community strength. 

  • Glastonbury 2012  - an event celebrating the many faiths & paths in Glastonbury

  • On-going dialogue and networking between different faith organisations

  • Initiating the installation of the Glastonbury Peace Pole

  • Arranging the nurturing of scions of the Glastonbury Holy Thorn for future planting in the town

  • Developing and promoting the 'Avalon Anthem'

  • Welcoming and supporting pilgrims of all faiths and beliefs 
    ​
  • Working with Glastonbury Town Council and Glastonbury Tourist Information to create Glastonbury Information Centre
Unity through Diversity  is an expression which has been in use for thousands of years and in essence, can be seen to imply the working together of all aspects of a community without losing the special personality and beliefs of the individual projects and people involved. 

We acknowledge that diverse beliefs and practices can present complex and difficult challenges creating chasms that often-times are difficult to bridge. However, rather than focus on the discordant differences, our goals are to create ‘living spaces’ where acceptance, understanding and co-existence can be found, demonstrating how together, we can live well, whilst remaining different.
