WELCOME TO MANNIGHAM INTERFAITH NETWORK

We bring greetings from the faith communities to the people of the City of Manningham.

We offer to the City of Manningham our common commitment to seek to live together in peace and goodwill.

We further affirm this same commitment to the promotion and advancement of mutual respect and understanding of one another’s beliefs, cultures, and traditions.

This desire arises not only from our common humanity but also from our being people of faith and people of prayer. We recognise that as neighbours, we have responsibilities to the community, the world and ourselves.

We therefore urge all citizens, both religious and non-religious, to put aside intolerance, prejudice, and divisiveness, to attain peaceful and fruitful co-existence in our City.
