| Abstract | "When leaders and representatives of the world's religions convened in Chicago in 1993, it was the second such meeting in a century. The 1993 Parliament of the World's Religions was organized to celebrate, explore, and reflect upon the ways in which the world's religions could confront the problems that threaten humanity... During the course of ten days, over 8000 people from around the world were challenged by speakers such as the Dalai Lama, Professor Hans Kung, Dr. Gerald Barney, Thich Nhat Hanh, Louis Farrakhan, Charlotte Black Elk, Ladjamaya Green, Bhai Hohinder Singh, Thomas Berry, E.M. Paulo Mar Gregorius, Rabbi James Rudin, and Cardinal Joseph Bernardin among many others."--Container. |
