On Thursday 29th of August, it was a melding of minds and ideologies when Melton City Council hosted the inaugural meeting of the Melton Interfaith Network.

Made up of representatives from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Melton Christian Ministers Association, Melton Muslim community, Indian Sikh community and Zoroastrian community, the Melton Interfaith Network aims to raise awareness of the different faiths and traditions present in the City of Melton and promote understanding and harmony.

City of Melton Mayor, Cr Kathy Majdlik, said Council was the driver behind the establishment of the Network, which will work in partnership to promote multicultural and multi-religious tolerance throughout the various cultural and religious groups in the community.

“Melton City Council respects and encourages unity in diversity, and supports the principals that everyone has the same basic physical and emotional needs. “We need to understand and accept what we have in common as well as the differences, and work together to achieve the best outcome for our community,” the Mayor said.
