Parliament to Participate at the Upcoming Religion Communication Congress in Washington, D.C.

The Parliament of the World’s Religions is joining international organizations, small non-profits, academic institutions and consulting agencies from around the world by becoming a cooperating organization for the upcoming Religion Communication Congress 2020.
Since 1970, the Religion Communication Congress has been a once-a-decade gathering of professional religion communicators from a wide range of faith traditions. The first Congress arose from a simple idea: to provide a forum to expand the experience and broaden the perspective of professional communicators in faith-based settings beyond their specialized work area. This year’s theme focuses on “communicating faith in the public square”.
