Neve Shalom ~ Wahat al Salam introduced to Shropshire

Benita Hide, the director of British Friends of Neve Shalom ~ Wahat al Salam was interviewed live on air on BBC Shropshire on the 15th of February 2009 by Mike George on BBC Sunday Breakfast. Mike was curious about the fact that there was a place, where hate was not the norm and asked Benita about her personal feelings regarding the village. She explained that it was a tranquil place that made her feel at home. Asked what the secret of the village of peace was, she responded by stating it was simply to keep the dialogue open. It made great and encouraging listening to anyone on that Sunday morning. Benita Hide was in Shropshire as a guest to an interfaith conference organized by the Diocese of Hereford the day before, where she was scheduled as a reporter from a place of hope.
