<strong>Deconstructing c o n f l i c t</strong> <br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Paintings by <a href="http://www.maciej-hoffman.com/">Maciej Hoffman</a> together with works by commission4mission artists were on show in <a href="http://www.chelmsfordcathedral.org.uk/">Chelmsford Cathedral</a> as part of an exhibition entitled <em><a href="http://commissionformission.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/deconstructing-c-o-n-f-l-i-c-t_21.html">Deconstructing c o n f l i c t</a></em> during <a href="http://www.oneworldweek.org/v2/">One World Week</a>. Hoffman is a Polish artist whose work is concerned with the trauma of all individuals and peoples who have suffered - and continue to suffer - worldwide. He says that he "views his art as both a means of self-expression and a way of engaging in public discourse, depicting contrasts, emotions and powerful human experiences." <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The Revd. Canon Ivor Moody (Vice-Dean, Chelmsford Cathedral) said, "We wish to use the interest, challenge and impact of art to draw people from our differing communities into genuine dialogue with each on the basis of the real issues each of us face. These events bring issues of justice and peace to the centre of local family, school and community life." </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-size: small;">A fascinating inter-faith lecture by <a href="http://www.faithsforum4london.org/author/rabbi-herschel-gluck/">Rabbi Herschel Gluck OBE</a>, founder of the Muslim-Jewish Forum which seeks to build bridges between Muslim and Jewish communities, was held on Tuesday 22</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">nd </span><span style="font-size: small;">October in the Chapter House of the Cathedral. Beginning with a BBC film on the founding of the Muslim-Jewish Forum, Rabbi Gluck spoke about his family history, his work with the Next Century Foundation through which he has played a significant role as a mediator in conflicts as diverse as the Sudan and former Yugoslavia, as well as reflecting on the work of the Muslim-Jewish Forum. Rabbi Gluck first met Maciej Hoffman in Poland and has been a strong supporter of Maciej's work ever since, so it was particularly appropriate that he should be able to deliver this lecture as part of the programme of events for the Deconstructing c o n f l i c t exhibition. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">These events were organised by Chelmsford Cathedral, commission4mission and the Mid Essex Inter-faith Forum, with the support of the <a href="http://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/">Big Lottery Fund</a>, to inspire, inform and encourage more people of diverse backgrounds to come together to explore shared values and take action to build a just, peaceful and sustainable world. Our aim was to challenge stereotypes which cause conflict and empower people to live and advocate peaceful lives. </span></span><div>

<span lang="EN-GB">The <a href="http://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/">Big Lottery Fund</a>, the largest distributor of National Lottery good cause funding, is responsible for giving out 40% of the money raised for good causes by the National Lottery. Among the good causes it has supported this year through its <a href="http://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/global-content/programmes/england/awards-for-all-england">Awards for All programme</a> has been our <a href="http://commissionformission.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/deconstructing-c-o-n-f-l-i-c-t_21.html"><em>Deconstructing c o n f l i c t</em> exhibition</a> and <a href="http://commissionformission.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/lecture-deconstructing-c-o-n-f-l-i-c-t.html">inter-faith lecture</a>.<br />
<br />
The Fund is committed to bringing real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need and has been rolling out grants to health, education, environment and charitable causes across the UK. Since its inception in 2004 we have awarded close to £6bn. <br />
<br />
The Fund was formally established by Parliament on 1 December 2006. <br />
<br />
The Fund’s Awards for All programme offers grants between £300 and £10,000 to projects that address the issues, needs and aspirations of local communities. Successful initiatives aim to develop skills, improve health, revitalise the local environment and enable people to become healthier, more active citizens. Voluntary and community groups, schools, health bodies, parish and town councils can all apply. <br />

<br />
Following a drinks reception in <a href="http://www.chelmsfordcathedral.org.uk/">Chelmsford Cathedral</a> for the <a href="http://commissionformission.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/deconstructing-c-o-n-f-l-i-c-t_21.html"><em>Deconstructing c o n f l i c t </em>exhibition</a>, a multi-faith audience heard <a href="http://www.faithsforum4london.org/author/rabbi-herschel-gluck/">Rabbi Herschel Gluck OBE</a> give a fascinating lecture on his experience of Muslim-Jewish relations. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Beginning with a BBC film on the founding of the Muslim-Jewish Forum, Rabbi Gluck spoke about his family history, his work with the <a href="http://www.ncfpeace.org/drupal/content/rabbi-hershel-gluck-obe">Next Century Foundation</a> through which he has played a significant role as a mediator in conflicts as diverse as the Sudan and former Yugoslavia, as well as reflecting on the work of the Muslim-Jewish Forum.</span> <br />
<br />
When he received his OBE, the Queen described his work as amazing and that is an accurate description of the significant work that this charming, humorous and dedicated man has undertaken both here and abroad.<br />
<br />
Rabbi Gluck has said of the founding of the Muslim-Jewish Forum:<br />
<br />
"Prior to setting up the Muslim-Jewish Forum in 2000, I had spoken to many people regarding the logic of the two communities cooperating on issues of common concern. Whilst everyone was very polite and listened carefully, they felt that it was a nice dream, but somewhat removed from daily reality.<br />
<br />
Today, Thank G-d, this has become much more mainstream. Whilst we are two independent and different communities, and there are many important areas of differences between us, there is a much greater awareness of the positive benefits that result from our joint efforts and constructive engagement.<br />
<br />
There are sadly still many areas of tension between members of our communities. But considering the major achievements of the past 12 years, we are greatly encouraged that, whilst retaining our unique identities, even greater harmony can be achieved in the years to come, with real benefits for us and for future generations."<br />
<br />
Rabbi Gluck first met <a href="http://www.maciej-hoffman.com/">Maciej Hoffman</a> in Poland and has been a strong supporter of Maciej's work ever since, so it was particularly appropriate that he should be able to deliver this lecture as part of the programme of events for the <em>Deconstructing c o n f l i c t </em>exhibition.Jonathan Evenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04271900336455993298noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7135987345811357688.post-15043604493347442192013-10-21T14:39:00.002-07:002013-10-21T14:39:52.323-07:00Deconstructing c o n f l i c t exhibition<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

experience of creativity is of disparate and often contradictory ideas being
crushed, swirled, fermented, shaken AND stirred in our minds in order that the
fine wine of creativity results. Those disparate and often contradictory ideas
are a little like the grit in the oyster which eventually produces the pearl or
possibly, in this instance, the Secret Chord. Our hope is that this book, by
exploring artistic dilemmas from a range of different perspectives, will mature
in people’s minds exactly like some fine wine or that pearl."</span><br />
