GEIFN | GOES | Speed Dating a Religious Zealot | in commemoration of UN International Peace Day | Saturday 22 September 2018 | 1.30-2.30pm

Share a round-table conversation with a person of different faith and ask any question you’ve always wanted to ask in a spirit of fun, truth, honesty, fabulousness and reconciliation. A short date, then its time to move on, that’s the zeal!

Is it religion or ignorance that causes the Suffering? Drawn from a range of religious traditions. The Network was formed in early 2011 with representation from many faith groups.

Often migrants come with a religious background and have all sorts of positive and negative experiences. Upon arrival, religion might be the last point of call due to historical experience or entrenched prejudice. As a new arrival, it is difficult to make and sustain meaningful friendships and relationships.This is an opportunity for audience members to sit informally together with people of different religious traditions all working, living and loving in Victoria.

Datees ask any/all the questions they always wanted to ask but never had the opportunity. Reducing the perception of ignorance, prejudice and aloneness between individuals, practitioners and traditions present in modern day Australia.
