Did you know that Islam is the second-largest religion in the world following Christianity? Or that Hindus worship multiple Gods? There are so many fascinating facts you don’t know about minority religions in Australia!

Pearl Cove Library will be hosting a special Human Living Library to celebrate the 2021 World Religion Day, where you can borrow a human ‘book’ of your choice and learn about the religious minorities in the community - straight from the horse’s mouth!

Each ‘reading’ session is for 20 minutes and held in small groups of 5-6 ‘readers’ per religious ‘book’. A total of 4 sessions will be conducted throughout the afternoon.

MEET OUR 'BOOKS'

ISLAM: Ms. Arwa Abousamra - Saudi Arabian-born Palestinian and the author of Tea with Arwa.

HINDUISM: Pandit Narayan Bhatt - Founder of Hindu Heritage Society Inc.

JUDAISM: Rabbi Mendel Kastel OAM - Rabbinic Fellow at the Great Synagogue Sydney and CEO of Jewish House.

ABORIGINAL DREAMTIME: Ms. Hetti Perkins - Arrernte and Kalkadoon curator, writer, advisor and presenter.
