Inter-Religious Organisation
|
|
Inter-Religious Organisation is a concept which has only become important recently during the last century. In 1893, the World's Parliament of Religions held in Chicago, in conjunction with the World Columbian Exposition, a conference that is believed to be the first Inter Faith Gathering of some significance. However, there was a long gap, until 1993 when The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions held a centennial celebration of the 1893 gathering. Since then various other organisations have been created. Below is a list of some of these organisations - most have a link to their web address.
