First meeting of the Parliament of the World's Religions
The first World’s Parliament of Religions convened in Chicago in 1893. Many consider it the first organized interfaith gathering. Luminaries across the world’s faith have presented at subsequent gatherings, which are held roughly every 3 to 5 years. This year’s event will be online from 16-18 October 2021.
