| In 1893, during the Columbian Exposition in Chicago, the World’s Parliament of Religions gave birth to organized interreligious encounter and marked the beginning of formal dialogue between the religious and spiritual traditions of the East and the West. In 1993, the Parliament of the World’s Religions was reborn in Chicago, with 8,000 people from around the world coming together to share their identities, to celebrate diversity and harmony and to explore religious and spiritual responses to the critical issues facing the global community. In 1999, the Parliament in Cape Town called the world’s attention to the interreligious movement’s contribution to the struggle to overcome apartheid and build a new South Africa. In 2004, the Parliament of the World’s Religions—one of the most significant events of the Universal Forum of Cultures in Barcelona—will invite the world to confront the challenges and model the possibilities of living peacefully in the midst of diversity.
