CASEY’S Multi-faith Network may get the chance to address the United Nations in New York. The mayor of Casey will call upon the State Government and State Opposition to support a bid for the group to speak at the famous UN headquarters in Manhattan. In a notice of motion that he plans to submit next week, Casey mayor Geoff Ablett will call for the council to meet with the State Government and Opposition to discuss the viability of the Casey Multi-faith Network travelling to UN headquarters in New York to present its mission objectives and explain its community involvement. The development comes after Cr Ablett spoke of the virtues of the Casey Multi-faith at a special dinner last month to celebrate his appointment as mayor, calling for the group to meet with delegates at the UN. “I’d like the multi-faith to put a presentation together for the UN,” Cr Ablett said
this week. “I will recommend that council write to both State Government and State Opposition to co-ordinate a meeting regarding the concept.” Cr Ablett, a Casey Multi-faith delegate along with deputy mayor Amanda Stapledon, said the network’s message of tolerance and harmony had to be heard on a global scale. “Everyone turns on the TV and sees conflict between various faiths overseas, whether it’s English or on the West Bank and one of the first things I did was to organise Multifaith delegates on the council,” he said. “Casey is the biggest municipality in the state, with 50-odd families moving in a week from different faith groups. “We need to tolerate and understand people’s differences.” Jim Reiher, president of the Casey Multi-faith Network, said he was humbled by Cr Ablett’s UN suggestion and agreed that the network’s message was one that the whole world needed to hear.
