At its day-session on 24th February, the interfaith training-course Emouna Belgique (www.emouna.be ) discussed the question of female authority in the religions represented in the programme (Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Buddhism). The Central Committee is grateful for the existence of this interfaith programme, for its courage in addressing matters of sensitivity to religious communities, and for the plans to extend the French-speaking programme to Dutch-speaking Belgians from next year. The Revd Charles Kabera from Holy Trinity Brussels continues to represent the Anglican Church at this year's programme.
