The Women’s Interfaith Network sets an example of leadership in our community – women working with other women on a daily basis to build religious understanding and
acceptance in our society, told former NSW Premier, Kristina Keneally.
The Foundation Convenor of the Women’s Interfaith Network is Ms Josie Lacey – a member of Sydney’s Jewish community and an interfaith activist who was instrumental in founding the interfaith network. Ms Lacey is also active internationally in interfaith matters and was instrumental in highlighting the 10 Commandments of Interfaith locally.
Ms Lacey told, “Since our organisation was formed, women from Aboriginal, Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Sikh faith communities have been coming together to learn, understand and respect each other’s faith.”
