Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Manchester Sikhsoc will be having a huge event on Sunday 27th April. There will be 3 very articulate speakers delivering intellectually stimulating talks:

Reverend Dr John Parry, a visiting lecturer of Guru Nanak Dev University (Punjab), will be speaking on the influence that the Gurus have had on him. He is part of the United Reformed Church and has a PhD from the University of Birmingham. The title of his thesis was 'The Word of God is Not Bound: The Encounter of Sikhs and Christians in India and the U.K'. He has written several published articles on Sikhism.

S. Harbinder Singh Rana, Director of the Anglo Sikh Heritage Trail, will be speaking on the Reverend C F Andrews and his encounters with the Sikhs. He is a very well known as a speaker and figurehead for the UK Sikh community. Under his guidance the trail has recently secured a large amount of funding for 3 years of research. His vision and leadership was paramount in helping to organise the Arts Of The Sikh Kingdoms (V&A, 1999)

Christy Campbell, author of "The Maharaja's Box", will be speaking on the Life of Maharaja Duleep Singh. He has been a journalist for the Telegraph newspaper and has authored 3 books in total. The Maharaja's Box is a bestselling book on Sikh History and was the catalyst in the rediscovery of the lost heritage that was the life of Duleep Singh. Christy has never done a talk in Manchester so this is a particularly great opportunity.

There will also be kirtan which may be performed by the Acapella Jatha
