Religious Persecution: Monash Interfaith Gathering

Monash Interfaith Gathering invites you to:

Religious Persecution

Date: Thursday 16 February 2023      Time: 7pm to 9pm
Location: Online and In person | Monash Council Hall, 293 Springvale Rd, Glen Waverley VIC 3150

Persecution lies at the intersection of interfaith relations and the relationship between state and religion. It remains one of the great problems facing our modern world, and a central concern to the work of Monash Interfaith Gathering (MIG).

How can we understand its causes, motifs and who is behind it?
What can we do - globally, nationally, as communities, and as individuals - about persecution?
How are we to move beyond persecution to live in harmony with one another?

MIG welcomes Professor Joseph Camilleri, who will speak on the subject of Religious Persecution.
