Abi, I am a member of a minority religious movement, "The Family." We 
are a Christian group with a few distinguishing doctrines. We are 
missionary oriented and our members are active in 86 countries 
worldwide. I represent the "Family Information Department" for Europe, 
which provides a contact point for academics, researchers and others 
who would like information about our group. We also monitor 
developments regarding freedom of religion, particularly in countries 
where we have members, which covers pretty much all of Europe 
including Eastern Europe, Russia and so on. In some cases where we 
find it appropriate, we try to spread information about challenges to 
religious liberty. We have been particularly concerned about the 
rising intolerance in the countries of the former Soviet Bloc, where 
I've spent most of the past 13 years, and we work with academics and 
local people from those countries in trying to maintain religious 
liberty. For instance, last November I attended an international 
conference in Bucharest, Romania, where discussions were centred on 
possible changes to current laws that would potentially limit 
religious liberty for minority groups such as has happened in Russia. 
We are also concerned with developments in Western Europe, 
particularly the Francophone countries where governments are 
considering laws that single out members of non-conventional 
religions. We consider this an ominous trend, one that portends to 
lead to outright discrimination, and this is particularly the case in 
France.Here in England, it seems that religious tolerance is 
well-established.Personally I wish that the East European countries 
that so recently emerged from communism and are still establishing 
their legal systems would look more to the British model rather than 
the less tolerant European countries.So my interest in religion and 
the law in England is two-fold. One, to stay abreast of developments, 
changes or discussions that could effect religious freedom for 
minorities such as ourselves. Secondly, to see what could be learnt 
that could be shared with academics and others with whom we have a 
dialogue in Eastern Europe.

Cohen, Michal. I came to England to take up my law degree in 1989 and stayed 
until 1998, after having completed the College of law's LPC and other things. 
The underlying reason for not wanting to return to Israel in a hurry was 
spiritual or religious, I felt England was doing something right that Israel was 
obviously not. I am back here now and find it a challenge. I work for the 
Official Receiver here in Jerusalem and will be taking the (post training) 
Israeli Bar exams this April.
