It's become a feature of September that Bristol's civic buildings 'open their doors' to everyone, and show us all around.

For the past few years the Bristol Multifaith Forum has also organised its very own 'Diverse Doors Open Day' to let people see inside a church, a mosque, a gurdwara, a synagogue, a temple and so on.

This year, the Diverse Doors event will be on Sunday 7th November: put it in your diary and try to get around as many of the venues as possible. But be warned: hospitality is high. You will be fed and it will be good food!

Initiated in 1998 under the leadership of UNESCO, the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and of its Abolition on 23rd August is a moment of commemoration observed around the world.

This is a significant date as it recalls an uprising of enslaved Africans on the island of Saint Domingue in 1791, resulting in the establishment of the Republic of Haiti, the first black independent state in the Western World. The date has been designated by UNESCO as Slavery Remembrance Day, a reminder that enslaved Africans were the main agents of their own liberation.

Bristol through the lens is a photography exhibition being hosted by the New Room, in central Bristol.

6th September to 8th October, Mon-Sat, 10am to 4pm.

This series of 19 pieces is a photographic study of Sheona’s home city. Each image is made up of more than one photograph taken at different times of day/year/view. The work explores the landscape as a changing, animated scene, and shows views of Bristol, such as Cabot Tower and the Avon Gorge, through time and space in new and unseen ways.

In church halls all over the country, parents, carers and their toddlers meet for fun and friendship. Whilst playing with the toys or making wonderful things with glue and all manner of ‘sticky on things’, tea and chat are served by members of the Sunday congregation.

Having two separate groups each week and being in touch with 80 plus families, one church in Brislington, Bristol, wanted to do more to further its relationship with so many in the community.

The ISR AGM doubled up as this year's Desmond Brown Lecture.
