Our Mission:
The Parliament of the World's Religions was created to cultivate harmony among the world's religious and spiritual communities and foster their engagement with the world and its guiding institutions in order to achieve a just, peaceful and sustainable world.
Our Approach:
We seek to promote interreligiousharmony, rather than unity.
We foster convergence,rather than consensus, enabling appreciative,cooperative relationships.
Our work is based onfacilitation, rather than formal organizationalstructures.
The Parliament educates for peace & justice by:
• Calling people of faith, spirit & goodwill to understand & respect differences
• Creating cross cultural networks that empower peace & reconciliation
• Helping participants to identify religious & spiritual responses
• Sensitizing communities to racial, ethnic and religious violence and providing strategies for defusing tensions
