Sunday 12 February. 12.45 - 3 p.m. Iraq Marshes. A talk by Donald McDowell. In 1978, Donald visited Iraq, just before Saddam Hussein took over power. The Ba'ath Socialist party was in power, with very interesting effects. The chance came to visit the Iraq marshes and to see something of the culture and reed houses of the Marsh Arabs, which have now been lost forever after many centuries. Donald took many photographs which will form the basis for most of the talk - an informal talk, not a lecture! Join Donald after the Sunday service and bring along your lunch. There will be a collection for the Building Appeal Fund.
