I'm just back from the second meeting of this grandly titled group. Participants were once again from a wide variety of backgrounds and with a wide variety of aims - so it's not yet obvious whether or not it will gel. However it did make me consider what my own interest is - something about the influences on my own and others' faith(s) & spirituatlity(ies) & the influence of my own and others' faith(s) and spirituality(ies).
I'm also left wondering if we should be talking about metropolis in singular or plural - would it be truer to say Birmingham? - after all that is what we were all talking about & to generalise to all metropolises (leaving aside the question of whether or not Birmingham ranks as one) neither helpful nor accurate - as we could say about many generalisations - though that's not to say that there would be no parallels in other places - but the extent and particularity of these would be very different in New York and Delhi.

I love to think about Brum as a metropolis
What conclusions did you come to about metropoli in general or B'ham in particular?
