"We must never give up our love for the world." --Rt. Rev. Marc Andrus

Light & Danger Through the Crack in the Door

"Multiplicity of viewpoints, described, prayed over, celebrated, sung, danced, and debated by practitioners of many spiritual practices drove the five-day convening of the Parliament of the World's Religions, held August 14-18 at Chicagos McCormick Place Lakeside Center. There are those who think of religion as a lofty preoccupation, divorced from the sorrows and suffering of the real world. But from its beginnings, the dominant message and fervent plea of the Parliament has been just the opposite: to bring together people of diverse faiths, that they may face and resolve some of the worlds most grievous problems." From Trebbe Johnson comes this lively report from the 2023 Parliament of World Religions.
