The Patchwork Foundation aims to promote and encourage the positive integration of deprived and minority communities into British political society.
Patchwork or 'pieced work' is a form of needlework that involves sewing together pieces of fabric into a larger design. Deprived and minority communities in the Britain, are a diverse set of people from different cultures, faiths, ethnicities, and social backgrounds.
However once they are 'sewed' together these diverse pieces of material can contribute in a cohesive positive manner by being positively integrated into British society.
Patchwork is not affiliated to any political party and does not promote a particular political view. It does however work on the promotion of mainstream political participation and works with the main political parties to support this agenda.
We have to work on our sense of national pride which we identify with within our respective religion/culture. Personally I come from a mix of many backgrounds so I could never fathom why we fight. Buddhists say we should work on our EGO and I have to agree because it reduces the fear which drives us to hate one another.
It's all just down to the two sons of Abraham...Isaac & Ishmael and the wars afterwards. The foundation of all religion is basically the same so it IS possible. However, IMO, the meaning of TRUE spirituality is lost in most religion. What we tend to offend in one another is our ego sense of NATIONALISM (politics). If we can put the nationalism, which breeds intolerance, aside we have the answer and can move forward. Peace.
