I work for the civil service, there is about 100 staff in the building, maybe 4 Muslims.
One of them likes to pray at work so he disappears a few times a day takes a mat
and usually finds space up among the filing cabinets on another floor.
We have a staff suggestion forum and a while back it was suggested a room better suited for
this. So in the interests of politician correctness and equality etc and to show they are a good
employer (despite us being over worked, under paid
), they agreed.
Only in the interests of equity they had to make it a multi faith, or even non faith room.
So over the last few weeks, workmen have been in, painters, carpet people, plasters,
plumbers, electrician ect. Turning what was a small storage room full of junk into a
“contemplation room.”
Any one can use it at any time providing they are clocked out. While it’s called a
“contemplation” room no one has actually specified what it is to be used for as they don’t
want to exclude anyone from using it.
It has this really strange foot wash thingy in it which looks like a cross between
half a bath and a large bidet but it’s on the floor with a shower style curtain
around it. I assume it’s for washing hands feet etc.
Plus a coffee table and two comfy chairs. There are no symbols on the walls pictures etc.
The bidet bath thingy looks a bit like this but bigger.
See next post.
