The Monash Interfaith Network was established in November 2006, to promote harmony and acceptance of all faiths and beliefs in the city of Monash, to develop a caring and peaceful community.
To achieve this, we defend the right of each individual member of our community, to profess freely their faith and beliefs.
To bring the members of the MIG together and get an understanding that, we as human beings, have similar needs, similar problems, similar issues to solve, even though we have different beliefs; over the last few years, we have addressed some of the common community issues that affect all of us, irrespective of our creeds.
