Created to cultivate harmony among the world’s religious and spiritual communities, the Parliament of the World’s Religions annual conference will run from August 14-18 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Starting on Monday morning, the event will be attended by religious and spiritual leaders from more than more than 200 different faiths and traditions around the globe.
“When people come to the Parliament they get to experience something that everybody longs for,” Rev. HPs. Phyllis Curott, Program Chair, said in a statement.
“They get to experience the world as we all long for it to be: peaceful, curious, open-hearted, and not just tolerant but grateful for our diversity.”
