For 18 months, representatives of around 20 different faith groups have worked to form a Queensland network of faith communities committed to advancing interfaith understanding and collaboration and to making a positive contribution within society. It hopes to do this by:
- (a) engaging in dialogue that enhances our understanding of shared values and develops respect for our diversity; and
- (b) publicly promoting interfaith relations by working together, through education, guidance and example, to support the positive outcomes of religious freedom, social justice, inclusivity and diversity.
And so, the Queensland Faith Communities Council (QFCC) was born! The Launch took place on Tuesday 23 May at the Centre for Interfaith and Cultural Dialogue, Griffith University, Nathan Campus.
