Chattering Magpie Announces . . .

Health Sociology Study

As part of my on going involvement in certain sociological, health-care and interfaith issues I am about to begin research on the "Experience of Pagans as hospital in-patients." To do this I am looking for volunteers for a series of open ended but structured interviews that will take place over the telephone or preferably, face to face. I am looking for Pagan volunteers living within the English East Midlands only, who have spent a minimum of one night as a hospital in-patient within the last two years (Summer 2006 to the present).
If you wish to volunteer please email thechatteringmagpie@yahoo.co.uk but please do not expect a quick reply as this sort of thing takes time and I have yet to finalise the interview structure. Please mark your emails as "Pagans in Hospital."

Book Call for Pagans in Prison

As I am sure some of you are aware an appeal has been made on behalf one of our prison chaplains requesting reading and study materials for Pagan prisoners. I am acting as contact and drop off point for the Derby and Nottingham border. If you have any books or magazines that you wish to donate please arrange to get them to me. I can collect at the Dolphin moot (Tuesday 12th August) and at the picnic (Sunday 31st August). On behalf of the Pagan inmates of Foston, Dovegate and Wakefield, thank you to those of you who have reviously donated.

Thank you for your attention, Chattering Magpie
