 **//__Links to and Evaluation of Other Relevant Websites on the Topic “Religious Expression in Australia- 1945 to present”, By Danny Daher __//**

Website: [] Relevance/Usefulness: __** == As the unit that we are currently studying is “Religion in Australia-Post 1945”, this website relates to the religious expression in Australia, specifically interfaith dialogue in multifaith Australia. This website provides information about the “Australian Council of Christians and Jews” where the homepage provides a brief history of both religions from 1945. This website provides very useful links such as the “ Why CCJ?...” link, which provides information about why the council was created, what they do, their educational programs and how they can make a difference to the nation (this link is located under the “New South Wales” link). Also, the Guidelines for Catholic-Jewish Relations link provides information about the growing interest in interfaith relations, mutual understanding, and more information that not only helps us with this topic, but will also be useful with our understanding of the Jewish and Christian faith. Hence, this website is useful and relevant to our unit as it provides specific information about interfaith dialogue in multifaith Australia in relation to the Australian Council of Christians and Jews.  == Validity/Reliability: __** Judging with the evidence at hand, I believe that this websit e is reliable. This is because the text is referenced to whom and where it was created ( Marianne Dacy,   Australia) which would support the reliability and authenticity of the text. It is a reliable source because the webpage is an organisation justified through the websites URL ([|http://www.ccjaustralia.org]). This indicates that the contents are not falsified, inaccurate or judgmental. This can be justified through the statistical evidence portrayed in the website such as census data mentioned in context.

As the unit that we are currently studying is “Religion in Australia-Post 1945”, this website relates to the religious expression in Australia, specifically the Christian ecumenical movements. This website provides information about the **“**National Council of Churches in Australia” (NCCA) where the “About us page” gives a brief history of the ecumenical movement in Australia in relation to the NCCA, the different churches involved with the council, how the council works and why the council was created. There is also an ecumenical mission story under the “ [|Growing Churches in the Australian Context] ” link and the website additionally provides information about the [|Interfaith Dialogue] which is also a part of our syllabus outcomes. Hence, this website is useful and relevant to our unit as it provides specific information about ecumenical movements in Australia in relation to **“**National Council of Churches in Australia”. Validity/Reliability: __** Judging with the evidence at hand, I believe that this websit e is reliable as it is a well known source in the religious community. The data is compiled from a variety of churches nation-wide thus representing the Christian community as it is “Australian churches working together”. This also supports the fact that the website isn’t biased as it is provi ding information about various topics rather than one author stating an individual opinion which doesn’t affect the reliability of the text. Hence, this gives the reader a reliable source to use in this research. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; msothemecolor: text1;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;">**__Website:__** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-themecolor: text1;"> [] <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-themecolor: text1;"> <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-themecolor: text1;">As the unit that we are currently studying is “Religion in Australia-Post 1945”, this website relates to the religious expression in Australia, specifically interfaith dialogue in multifaith Australia. This website provides information about the** “Women’s Interfaith Network ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-themecolor: text1;"> ("WIN") which <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> is a gathering of women who work together to promote harmony, understanding and respect between people of differing faiths”. It allows for differing religions to work towards eliminating prejudice and discrimination and encourages women to address common social concerns. This is done by creating a network of women’s inter-faith groups with similar aims and programs. Hence, this website provides a practical example of interfaith dialogue in multifaith Australia through women from different faiths discussing past experiences and working towards a practical resolution. Validity/Reliability: __** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Judging with the evidence at hand, I believe that this source is reliable as it is a combination of experiences displayed from women from a number of faiths. However, it may contain a level of bias as it is written from individual perspectives and not from an unbiased third party. Yet, it is a source that is beneficial for this research and should be used as it does provide a current understanding of interfaith dialogue in practice in Australia. Furthermore, the website is recommended source from the text ‘Living Religion, third edition’ therefore enhancing the validity and reliability of the website.
