JRS Europe Seminar and AGM
3^rd-8^th October 2003

This year’s JRS training seminar focused on Islam. Dan Madigan SJ, head of the Gregorian University’s Institute for the Study of Religions and Cultures, Jean-Marie Gaudeul (M.Afr.), a respected author on the history of Muslim-Christian interactions, and Tom Michel SJ, the Secretary of the Superior-General of the Jesuits for interreligious issues, led the information and training sessions.

Bernard and Louise joined another 50 members of JRS teams from across Europe gathered in Aix-en-Provence to participate in the seminar to gain a better understanding of Islam and to make our work with Muslim refugees and asylum seekers more effective.

40 people stayed on to participate in the AGM, which this year focused on the three year planning process, fundraising and common projects.
