CHRISTMAS VISITS 2009
Once again this Christmas the Australian Intercultural Society organized interfaith visits to Melbourne's most famous Cathedrals. Muslim families from different regions of Melbourne gathered in groups of fifteen people to visit St Patrick's Cathedral located at East Melbourne and St Paul's Cathedral situated at Flinders Street Melbourne. The Muslims visitors were most welcomed by Catholic Archbishop Dr Dennis Hart and Anglican Archbishop Dr Philip Freier. The visits aim to strengthen the bonds of friendship between Christians and Muslims. Solid bridges are built between the faiths whilst members of both faiths get the opportunity to learn about each other's religious customs and traditions. |
