Funded Activity Summary

Rediscovering religious diversity 1852 – today. Rediscovering religious diversity 1852 – today. This project aims to re-discover, interpret and share knowledge about the role and value of faith during the gold rush, and on the goldfields until today. Encouraging Australians to respect faith adherence has never been more urgent, and recent events in Bendigo illustrate the social cost of religious intolerance. Researching Bendigo’s faith history, part of gold-mining’s cultural ‘melting pot’ experience, could help communities to understand diversity and difference. A new multi-faith interpretive centre will communicate results to contemporary audiences in relevant ways. Connecting people to their own history is expected to optimise Bendigo’s heritage assets, benefit tourism and promote cohesion in Australia’s increasingly diverse communities.
