Home Encounters Network
Organisations
Organisations Involved
The project was organised and managed by a committee made up of Christians and Muslims. It was not organised solely by one faith group. In this respect, there was a closer dialogue and relationship building at an organisational level as well.
Without the sponsorship of Affinity Intercultural Foundation and St Charles Church as the main organisers of the project, individuals would not feel safe to engage in dialogue at a personal level. The facilitation of trusted and experienced organisations is key to success in interfaith dialogue.
The logistics of the operation was also significantly complex and it required a strong management team to make sure everything was running smoothly and consistently.
The First Project
Our first project was completed in the Ryde/Strathfield and Auburn Region.
An organizing committee comprising of representatives from Affinity and St Charles Church was established to manage the project to completion. Representatives from the Strathfield Uniting Church later joined in this organizing committee as well. For more information about the organisations involved see Ryde/Strathfield & Auburn Region.
The Second Project
The second round of Home Encounters was held in the Western Sydney and Hills District region between Muslim and Catholic/Uniting Church communities. For more information about the organisations involved see Western Sydney & Hills District Region.
The Third Project
The third round of Home Encounters was held in the St George Area between the Muslim and Anglican communities. For more information about the organisations involved see St George Area Region.
