FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND BELIEF IN THE 21ST CENTURY

The Australian Human Rights Commission is conducting a project on the future of religion and belief in Australia with particular reference to the role of religion in social cohesion, human rights and participation in the political process. MIAT made a submission and the submission can be downloaded here.

The HRC discussion paper backgrounding the project can be downloaded from the AHRC website

HUMANE AND HUMANITY

MIAT believes the foundation-stone for legislation, social action, business and other social activities and studies must be clear understandings of both "humane" and "humanity". So much news and other communications are today "de-humanised". MIAT has asked philosophers, theologians and eminent people to give their definitions of these two concepts, taking into account issues which were unthought of 100 years ago, but which are important now. Their submissions are in the document below.

The Humane and Humanity report can be downloaded here.
