Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions - Message

Warm greetings from the Council for a Parliament of the World’s Religions (the Council).

Our organization works with religious and spiritual communities and other guiding institutions in their efforts to achieve a more just, peaceful and sustainable world. With its roots in the historic 1893 World’s Parliament of Religions, the Council has held modern-day parliaments in 1993 (Chicago, United States), 1999 (Cape Town, South Africa), and 2004 (Barcelona, Spain).
Our next parliament - an international and interreligious gathering, bringing together 8,000 to 10,000 guests from 80 countries - will be held in Melbourne, Australia, December 3-9, 2009.

In order to keep you abreast of the Melbourne event and our numerous worldwide programs leading up to it, we are requesting that you be so kind as to provide us with your current contact information as outlined below.

Beyond our Differences

Beyond Our Differences

Documentary Film

Beyond Our Differences, directed by Peter Bisanz explores the fundamental unity among world religions. Interviews with politicians, scholars, and religious leaders like His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu are woven with the stories of everyday individuals who put their faith to good work.

Filmed across Asia, Africa, North America, Europe, and the Middle East, Beyond Our Differences reveals the important role of religion in our increasingly global community. The documentary will premiere at the New York Independent International Film and Video Festival, with a broadcast on Bill Moyers Journal this December (2008) to follow. The film has also been accepted at four other festivals across the country.
