The Moonee Valley Interfaith Network said goodbye to 2012 with their end of year celebration on Thursday the 13th of December - an evening of delicious food, inspiring conversations and connection with the Interfaith community.

Under the MC of Frank Di Blasi, the guest speaker was Anglican Ordinand Ms. Emily Fraser who spoke on the topic of "Faithful Spirituality Unites". Emily shared stories, photographs and reflections from attending the Future Faith Leaders programme in Indonesia. Speaking about the common bond of faith and spirituality Emily indicated that “Different faiths have common concerns, such as living lives which are pious, honest, have integrity, honour God, and are full of charity, generosity, love and compassion for one another. Unity is found through these common concerns as we work together to achieve these common goals”.

The program also included speeches from newly appointed Mayor Cr. Narelle Sharpe and Cr. Jim Cusack. Chairperson Rev. Mark Dunn provided a summary of the Moonee Valley Interfaith Network journey over the last year and highlighted some of the network’s achievements.

The evening concluded with a special performance by the St. John’s Uniting Church, Korean Dance group, who had everyone in stitches with a surprise performance of “Gangham Style”.
