Multi Faith Facility Protocols

The Multi Faith Facility at Swinburne exists to serve the religious needs of all religious affiliations and denominations within Swinburne. In order to facilitate this, whilst in the Centre, all user groups are expected to exercise respect and tolerance for the integrity of each other’s beliefs, cultures and traditions, and therefore urges everyone, religious and non-religious, to put aside intolerance, prejudice and divisiveness to attain peaceful co-existence at Swinburne. This means:

  • Respecting other people’s freedom within the law to express their beliefs and convictions in worship and prayer;
  • Respecting the convictions of others about food, dress and social etiquette and not behaving in ways that may cause offence;
  • Always avoiding violence in relationships, in particular avoiding violent action, language, threats, manipulation, improper inducements, or the misuse of any kind of power;
  • Not misrepresenting or disparaging other people’s beliefs and practices;
  • Not actively seeking to persuade others to join their faith;
  • Not seeking to direct others on how to exercise their faith.
