The latest issue (Jan/Feb 2009) of IDEA is available by the notice board. Of particular relevance to us, given the increasingly international makeup of our fellowship, is the article Who is your neighbour? (pp. 21-24) which focuses on the experience of some Alliance members as they seek to help immigrants and asylum seekers. The Alliance is also looking for personal stories, ideas on how we can help the newcomers and resources which may help them. Information is available from their Don’t be a Stranger website (www.nostrangers.org.uk ).
