We would like to wish a Happy New Year to those members of our community that celebrated 'Nowruz' this weekend. One of the oldest festivals in the world, Nowruz is the Persian New Year and Spring festival marked by the UN as a celebration of peace and community. In our assembly today, we could see that it shares many similarities with other Spring and New Year festivals celebrated around the world. Anything that reminds us that we have much more in common than that which divides us is worth celebrating.
