Synopsis

"Religious Festivals" explores the diverse world of religious celebrations, examining their historical roots and modern significance. These festivals, expressions of faith and tradition, vary greatly across cultures. Intriguingly, many festivals have adapted over centuries, influenced by social, political, and economic shifts. The book highlights how religious celebrations are not only about unwavering faith but also about evolving identities and shared values.

 
The book journeys through core concepts like ritual and sacred time, then examines specific festivals from Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Each chapter dives into the historical context, theological significance, and contemporary practices of selected festivals. This approach provides a broad understanding of how these celebrations shape community identity and promote interfaith understanding.

 
The later chapters analyze the role of religious festivals in shaping community identity, promoting social cohesion, and fostering interfaith understanding while also considering issues like religious intolerance. Using historical documents, ethnographic studies, and theological texts, the book presents a balanced view of these vibrant cultural expressions.

Behind The Screens at the City...

Peter Sykes

What really goes on 'behind the screens' on a busy surgical ward?  
Paul Lambert, a quiet and introspective young doctor tells the real-life tales of some of his patients, at a time when care and compassion ruled supreme in British hospitals. Some stories are humorous, some sad, others poignant, but all are very 'human'. The novel also follows Paul's chequered love life and unveils some of the 'high jinks' that doctors get up to when off-duty. Had Jennifer Worth been a surgeon rather than a midwife, these are the tales that she might have told.
