Celebrating Our Multi-Culturalism

Respecting and valuing people from different cultural backgrounds enhances our lives.  We are enriched by exploring different ways of thinking, different cuisines, and different customs and beliefs. Australia has benefitted greatly from the diversity of its people.  As a vibrant multicultural country, we benefit from being part of a community that includes people of the oldest continuous culture and those from a wide variety of cultures who have immigrated to Australia.

As we meld together as Australians, God encourages us to “love our neighbour as ourselves”.  We are encouraged to first see and celebrate our common humanity. We come together as one people. Each person brings unique gifts and talents that can make a difference in the world around us.  When we act with and for each other, those gifts are amplified.
