Dear Friends,
The Parliament of World Religions was an amazing and indescribable event! It is something to experience!
Lectures, panels, cultural performances, breakout sessions, experiential activities, cultural exhibits, a FREE Sangar lunch provided by the Sikh Community of Salt Lake and more cannot describe the Diversity of Humanity (10,000 people) and the immense love among people coming together from more than 50 world religions and cultures. It really demonstrates INTERFAITH is a movement growing by leaps and bounds. We need to be grounded in the love for our own faith and at the same time, expand to experience the global network.
The NEXT Parliament will be in 2 years, not 5.
Where and when has not been decided yet.
Here are a few photos…
