Wicca/Pagan: Yule – Litha – Northern/Southern hemispheres
2020-12-21
*Yule or Yuletide (“Yule time”) is a festival observed by the historical Germanic peoples. Scholars have connected the celebration to the Wild Hunt, the god Odin, and the pagan Anglo-Saxon Mōdraniht. It later underwent Christianized reformulation resulting in the term Christmastide. Terms with an etymological equivalent to Yule are used in the Nordic countries for Christmas with its religious rites, but also for the holidays of this season. Today, Yule is also used to a lesser extent in the English-speaking world as a synonym for Christmas. Present-day Christmas customs such as the Yule log, Yule goat, Yule boar, Yule singing, and others stem from pagan Yule. Today the event is celebrated in Heathenry and some other forms of Modern Paganism.

How can we Help Uyghur Muslims?
2020-11-30 12:00 - 13:00
The Chinese government has oppressed Uyghur Muslims for generations: they cannot fast in Ramadan, they are force-fed alcohol, put in re-education camps, the women are sterilized – and they face even more hardships.
All the apparatus of the Chinese state are being used to destroy the Islamic identity of the Muslims of East Turkestan (called Xinjiang – ‘new province’ – by China). It is our duty as Muslims to be aware of what is happening, and what we can do to help them.
Panelists include:

Arsalan Hidayat, of Uyghur Revival Association
Dilnaz Kerim & Maira Aisa, of UK Uyghur Community
Imam Shakeel Begg, of Lewisham Islamic Centre
Shaykh Suliman Gani, of Purley Masjid
