MORSL Launches Invitation to the 2018 Parliament of the World's Religions
The next Parliament of the World鈥檚 Religions (PoWR) will be聽held in Toronto November聽1-7, 2018. The Parliament has been meeting every few years since 1893, and is now a world-renowned gathering of people from dozens of faith backgrounds and scores of countries. Recent conferences have drawn attendances numbering more than 10,000.聽聽For details about this incredible conference, please visit the聽Parliament's website.聽
With the conference so close to home, and an inspiring theme - The Promise of Inclusion, The Power of Love -聽MORSL is actively looking for students who are interested in seeing what multi-faith social justice action is about. This conference is not only a fantastic way to learn about other faiths, it is also a privileged opportunity to work side by side with people whose spirituality calls them to create a more just, sustainable and equitable world. The focus areas this year include climate change, income equity, reconciliation and the struggle against war, violence and hate speech.聽
We hope to generate a lot of interest and build a significant 海角社区 student contingent.聽We are currently gathering contact information for students interested in receiving a PoWR-specific newsletter from MORSL.聽 Please go to our聽PoWR News form聽and sign up to receive updates on our progress聽as we move closer to the event itself.聽 For students who are interested in attending, this is a first step!聽We hope to gather a significant 海角社区 contingent and raise scholarship funds to assist students who are within the MORSL mandate (subscribed to the student services fee).聽
