It's Your Chicago Parliament to Create, Answer the Call for Programs
On Monday 3 October 2022 the Call for Programs for the 2023 Parliament of the World's Religions is coming to a close.
In a recent blog, Parliament Staff explored the legacy of the City of Chicago in the global interfaith movement, the critical importance of defending freedom and human rights, and the call to communities and individuals to make the 2023 Convening their own.
"Make no mistake: this conference does not present the notion of religious freedom as a shelter for the nationalist or anti-woman lobby among faith communities, it rather walks the line of religious freedom as a human right...But it’s also convening in a moment to celebrate that at 130 years, the Parliament is still growing, holding space in new hearts, and continuing to impact generations that only knew of a Parliament of the World’s Religions in historical memory.It’s now their Chicago Parliament to create."
Don't miss the opportunity make your mark in the 2023 Parliament Convening, make history as part of the cohort of presenters at the Parliament of the World's Religions!

Global Ethic Census Aims to Gain Insights & Explore Commitment
The Parliament of the World's Religions' signature document, Towards a Global Ethic: An Initial Declaration will be celebrating its 30th anniversary next year. The world has changed in many ways since “the Global Ethic” was first endorsed at the 1993 Parliament of the World's Religions, and in the run-up to the anniversary celebrations we are asking anew: Who is “the Global Ethic” for? How does “the Global Ethic” foster interfaith collaboration and action? What must our timeless moral traditions now speak into 21st century realities?
All members of the public with a general interest in ethics are invited to partner with us in this important re-evaluation by taking the first-ever Global Ethic Census, now live on our website.
