PARLIAMENT of WORLD RELIGIONS
3-9 December 2009
The theme for the 2009 Parliament of World Religions is Make a World of Difference: Hearing each other, Healing the earth. The 2009 gathering will take place in Melbourne.
The Forum on Religion and Ecology is the largest international multireligious project of its kind. With its conferences, publications, and website it is engaged in exploring religious worldviews, texts, and ethics in order to broaden understanding of the complex nature of current environmental concerns. The Forum recognizes that religions need to be in dialogue with other disciplines (e.g., science, ethics, economics, education, public policy, gender) in seeking comprehensive solutions to both global and local environmental problems.
