The 2023 Parliament of the World's Religions is 1 MONTH away, convening thousands of faith, spiritual, and civic organizers addressing the threat of autocracy, the backsliding of democracies around the world, the rise of nationalism, the climate emergency, and the humanitarian crises and wars around the world.
Ready to celebrate 130 years of legacy and 30 years of history in the City of Chicago, the 2023 Parliament Convening gathers under a clear understanding that without democracy, freedom, and human rights, our shared mission towards justice, peace, and sustainability is in peril.
