SACRE Membership

Meeting: 06/11/2008 - Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (SACRE) (Item 77)

SACRE membership

Minutes:

Gordon Anderson updated the SACRE on the changes that had taken place in their membership since their last meeting.

 

The Jewish Board of Deputies had appointed Rabbi Zvi Solomons to represent the Jewish faith at SACRE meetings, replacing the interim appointment Marcia Perkin.  It was noted that Rabbi Solomons was enthusiastic about the work of SACRE and was particularly keen to become more involved in working with schools.  Some concern was expressed at his non-attendance and the absence of apologies from him.  The Chairman agreed to check that papers had been sent to him.

 

Councillors Mark Brunel-Walker and Ian Leake had replaced Councillors Scott Burrows and Trevor Kensall.

 

Work was taking place to identify representatives from the Buddhist and Sikh faiths to ensure that the SACRE was fully representative of all the faiths.
