Statement of Support for Muslim Communities and Others Impacted by Christchurch Shootings

In the spirit of inclusive community, we reach out at this deeply sad time and offer our sympathies to our Muslim friends and neighbours. We extend our prayers to all victims of the tragedy in Christchurch, including family, friends and community, as well as to those injured and traumatised.

In line with Knox City Council's work in the multicultural sphere – breaking down barriers, denouncing racial or religious violence and welcoming all those who call Knox home – the Knox Interfaith Network serves to learn, discuss and appreciate the various faiths in our community. We support all efforts to encourage understanding, social cohesion and friendship.
