Ian Wakeling writes about ICA SKR: the section on Section of Archives Churches and Religious Denominations.
He is a member and the Steering Committee member (Vice President and Newsletter editor) of ICA SKR.
Big news for ICA SKR: they have changed their name:
One of the key actions from the meeting was to give the Section a new name, moving from SKR to the more inclusive SAFT – the Section for Archives of Faith Traditions (SAFT). The new title will allow the Section to extend its global reach to encompass faith groups in all their many forms – from the major faith traditions Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism, through to less well known ones, such as Baha’i, Jainism, the Rastafari movement and Shintoism. The Section also seeks to include non-traditional faith groups, such as Humanists and New Age beliefs.
