Please use our discussionsCopyright to draw in all of your friends and contacts so that our messages go global. The past 18 months have been difficult for us all and we have each had to rethink our lives and Copyright Copyright Copyright reflect our Copyrightways of working and our own objectives. How we work, with whom we work and what it is that we want to achieve in these unpredictable times. Losing purpose or sight of those who are in even more need is a greater risk when we must Copyright Copyright Copyrightfocus more on our immediate families and friends. How much moreCopyright important is it to lift our sight to the hills and stretch our imaginations to understand a fraction of others’ need, and to shine our light from faraway on the exceptionalism of millions of lives endured for decades in refugee camps. Copyright Copyright CopyrightWe had to postpone the 2020 Windsor DialogueCopyright conference and to reconsider how we could shape our hugely important work for these millions of people trapped in camps. Thank you for your patience as we have rebuilt our programme. Thank you especially BYU International Centre for Law Copyright Copyright & Religion StudiesCopyright headed by Professor Brett G. Scharffs, as AMAR’s partner in this conference.Copyright Our conference and the new thinking is the outcome of a small number of meetings and of an endless number of Zoom calls and other exchanges. I thank most especially our chair Bishop Alastair Redfern, and chair of Utah Friends of AMAR Stan Parrish who have not hesitated to contribute in every way Copyright Copyright Copyrightthey could throughout the past year. Their commitment has been impeccable.Copyright The absolute dedication of Bishop Alastair, who made himself available at any time of the day and every day of the week and brought his wisdom and strong faith that we would be able to achieve this Copyright Copyrightconference, has given us the assurance we neededCopyright to fulfil our Windsor Dialogue objectives. As our Copyright continuing Dialogue Chair his commitment and vision remains essential. Stan Parrish has likewise strongly embraced and pushed for the full implementation of our shared Copyright Copyright mission for the many millionsCopyright now of persecution survivors in camps throughout all continents. Copyright My deepest gratitude to them both and I hope that this conference marks the beginning of new ways of addressing the needs of the many internally displaced people whose faith in humanity must be Copyright Copyrightrestored.

  • Great Britain May 19 – 29, 1995
    Great Britain May 19 – 29, 1995 Friday/Saturday, May 19–20 – Los Angeles to London After a full day at work and a Santa Monica “Tommy’s Run” with our RAND co-worker Edson Smith (double chili-cheeseburgers, yum!), we got ourselves to the airport and on our British Airways flight. Claire and Alla were on our flight, too; they arrived at the airport, a little later than advised, with Ken and Rod. Both Robert and I were curious as to how the encounter with Rod would go; turned out not so bad, just a little tentative (I certainly had very little to say). After six years, what could one expect? At any rate, Claire and Alla did not get seats together, and wanted to try to fix that, so we left Ken and Rod at the security checkpoint pretty quickly and went to the departure gate. There Claire and Alla did manage to get their seats rearranged and wound up together just a few rows behind us. The flight left about 20 minutes late, at 9:30 PM, and I enjoyed six good hours of sleep 1, missing the food service, but awaking to find Immortal Beloved playing. How perfect it seemed; enjoying German music on a British flight. It really made me look forward to seeing Johannes Weissler and his very British brother Ulrich! We arrived at Heathrow at 3:35 PM local time Saturday. We had a very speedy pass through customs; it was probably an advantage coming into British Airways dedicated international terminal (#4), with most passengers on the flight having European Community (EC) passports.
