Travelling Home to Heaven
I am putting together a book called (for now) "Travelling Home to Heaven". If you are a Romani or a Pavee, it's a chance for you to share your faith, your experiences, your thoughts, your stories or stories of people who have inspired you. All contributors can have as many copies as they like at cost plus post and packing, and sell it for any price they like. But the point is not about making a profit. I am on my last days,(with an incurable illness) so before I go on my own road to heaven, I would like to create something to help Romani or Traveller people who wonder what faith is all about, and what it means in our lives, and also to make all the churches aware of the deep spirituality of our nomadic cultures, and how far away some of them are from speaking to it. Will you help? If so, please leave a message in "Comments" below, and I will send you my email address.. Likewise, if you can contribute a photo for the front cover or for a story.

Dear Jenny,
I am sorry to read about your illness and it being incurable. I would be very interested in the kind of project you are describing and wold be glad to contribute, as I have moved between being brought up in the Salvations Army by my Romani mum (my Traveller dad was, and remains an atheist), then moving away into socialist politics and parties, before joining the Anglican church in London and being confirmed and now living in Istanbul amongst many Muslim Romani people, and finding myself going to the Franciscan Catholic Church nearby (in Beyoglu), as the Anglican Church in Istanbul seems to be so antagonistic to the people of Turkey and their faith (my wife is Muslim).
Do let me know if I can contribute and best wishes to you.
Dear Adrian,
I would be thrilled to have a contribution from you!
