Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions

First appearing in 1893 at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions (CPWR), is "recognized as the birth of formal interreligious dialogue worldwide." Since then, CPWR has had Parliaments in South Africa, Spain, and Chicago. This December the Parliament takes place in Melbourne, Australia, and includes speakers such as His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Dalia Mogahed, Executive Director of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies. Visitors can check out the bios of more than two dozen other major speakers, by clicking on the "Program" tab at the top of the page, and then going to the "Major Speakers" link. For more information on what is discussed at these engaging interreligious gatherings, visitors should click on the "Resources" tab and go to the "Publications and Reports" link. There they will find downloadable reports from past Parliaments, as well as other documents that were introduced at the Parliaments. Finally, visitors should look under the "Resources" tab to find a link to a fast-paced six-minute video, where religious practitioners that value an interfaith approach to such issues as environmental degradation, conflict resolution, and access to clean water, speak of their involvement in the upcoming Parliament in Melbourne.
