//"We offer to Greater City od Dandenong our common commitment to seek to live together in peace and good will. This desire arises not only from our common **humanity** but also from our being people of **faith** and people of **prayer**."//

The people of the Sikh faith are committed to peace and goodwill in the world.

In Sikh, all people are the same and everybody has to be treated equally. They value their commitments and beliefs about their religion. They are generous and they value their community and peace, unity and diversity in their community. They love their neighbours. Sikh people are very generous, they have made alot of health fund programs for people in need all over the world.

As people of faith they strive to be true to this statement when they make a commitment to God. They respect and treasure their expressions of faith and beliefs. They are very welcoming of all religions, when you visit the sikh temple they offer you food after your visit.They are very concerned about their pruity and cleanliness when you visit their temple. They dout believe in a person as God, they respect and woeship the scriptures. When visiting the temple the ladies have to cover their hair and so do the men, you also have to take off your shoes. They understand hoe our world should be peaceful and the good thingsthat you do are seen in our community and creates a good surrounding for everybody to live in.

As people of prayer they connect with each other, the silkh people pray early in the morning, midday and at night. When they pray they pray for peace and goodwill in the world and other world religious and traditional prayers. They can pray at the Sikh temple which gives sikh people a stronger bond or connection to the Guru through the atmosphere nd peoplen in the temple. The Sikh people relate to other Religions in their community because of the way all Religions pray. Similarities can help people relate and connect and that is what praying causes in our community.

We, the students hope that as people we learn knowledge about other religions, the community only gets stronger.
