Issue - meetings

Councillor Kate Anolue, in her last action as Mayor, began the meeting by asking for a minute silence in memory of all the people who have been lost in Enfield and across the world as a consequence of the Coronavirus.

Members observed a minute silence. 

The Mayor’s chaplains gave four separate blessings, representing four of Enfield’s religious communities:

Rabbi Daniel Epstein - Cockfosters & North Southgate Synagogue

Father John Hookway – St Demetrious Greek Church, Edmonton

Kazim Yildirim – Alevi Cultural Centre

Mehmet Arslan from Mosque (in Arabic) and translated into English by Ismail Sik

Councillor Kate Anolue thanked the chaplains for their blessings and expressed pleasure for her time as Mayor of Enfield.  She also thanked everyone in Democratic Services for their support over the past year. 

Father Emmanuel Ogunnaike from St Edmund’s Church, Edmonton gave the blessing. 

Unfortunately the Mayor’s Chaplain, Alevi Dede, was unable to attend the meeting, at short notice, due to family illness.
