A big "thank you" to all of you who have written in and asked for help and advice in your faith media careers. There have been so many emails that please bare with me if I have yet to reply to all of you. I promise I will!
It really has been rewarding for me to see so many young people keen to bring the most positive aspects of their chosen faiths, whether they be Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish or whatever (!) and use their skills in media to help broker a constructive means of communication between all of our world churches.
It is what we are in such an amazingly privileged position to do. Working in the media we are able to bring peace through dialogue and understanding through constructive communication.
There will be several other 'Pastor' Williams drop ins over the summer months, so I will look forward to meeting many of you face-to-face in the very near future... ;-)
Thanks to all of you who attended the first drop-in networking sessions! Great to have met such positive and visionary people. Pleased to report that 2 new intership placements have been confirmed for those who applied. One on our CityLife magazine regional desk and the other at our Weekly Sport offices near Stamford Bridge in London. Looking forward to working with you both over the coming months. As promised, these multi faith drop-ins aim to unite, bring peace and be representative of modern UK communities - for this reason the first 2 interns are Christian and Muslim respectively. We hope to welcome many other media interns of faith and goodwill over the next series of networking sessions. Once again, many thanks for taking part!
