The Retreat

Just a quick post to reiterate that The Retreat is on BBC2 at 9.0 on Monday evenings. I'll be interesting to see how much of the programme does relate to the themes of our course, and on that front I have some exciting news! I discovered today that Abdullah Trevathan, the leader of the retreat, is a colleague at Roehampton (he's a senior lecturer in Education). In spite of him being a leading figure in the field of Islamic education, I had no idea that he was at Roehampton, but have now made contact and have invited him to come to talk to our class. We've yet to discuss what he would come to talk about, but he has said that he is keen to learn from students on the course too, so I hope to set up some kind of dialogue which we can all benefit from.
