[Edited extract from public address]
A celebration of Diwali, symbolizing light overcoming darkness, bringing together a family of the world’s faiths in celebration with their Hindu family.
Religion and science coming together to combat the devastating effects of climate change. For some, it was a stirring tribute to his late daughters from Dr. Izzeldin Abulaish, author of I Shall Not Hate, upon accepting the Parliament's first-ever Global Ethic Award.
Hearing that the Parliament of the World's Religions will become in 2019, for the first time in its history, a woman-led organization (welcome Parliament Chair-Elect Audrey Kitagawa!).
Developed around the vision, "the Promise of Inclusion, the Power of Love," the 7th Parliament drew more than 8,300 people to Toronto from 81 countries and nearly 200 unique religious, spiritual and ethical traditions. It devoted attention to the most uplifting ways people of faith and conscience are now working together to understand, reconcile and change some of the world’s most difficult realities.
The beauty of the work led by our next generation, women & girls, and Indigenous Peoples from across the world will lead these stories alongside those of newly ignited friendships, collective wisdom, and new plans of action.
It was amazing. Our 125th anniversary coinciding with a soaring response to this 7th Parliament has us energized to augment current programs, implement new programming, and advance new models of connection that harness the immense capacity of interfaith advocacy to continue shaping the world for the better.

Millions of memories, hundreds of headlines and countless firsts from the most recent Parliament in Toronto are bringing new hope to the global interfaith movement since the first 7 days of November.
Maybe it was our Zoroastrian fire ceremony performed at the Sacred Fire site tended by our hosting Indigenous Peoples.
