Rediscovering religious diversity 1852 – today

重新发现宗教多样性1852 -今天。该项目旨在重新发现，解释和分享有关信仰在淘金热期间的作用和价值的知识，以及直到今天的金矿。鼓励澳大利亚人尊重信仰从未如此紧迫，最近在本迪戈发生的事件说明了宗教不容忍的社会代价。研究本迪戈的信仰历史，黄金开采的文化“熔炉”的经验的一部分，可以帮助社区了解多样性和差异。一个新的多信仰解释中心将以相关方式向当代受众传达结果。将人们与自己的历史联系起来，有望优化本迪戈的遗产资产，有利于旅游业，并促进澳大利亚日益多样化的社区的凝聚力。

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.
