The Parliament of World Religions held it’s first conference in 1893 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The Parliament was the first formal public meeting of representatives of the major religions in the history of the world. Not only was this first Parliament at the forefront of religious cooperation between western and eastern practices, but it also recognized Black Americans and women as relgious leaders. To this day, the Parliament continues to address not only cross-faith dialogue but also pressing social justice issues and matters of inclusion.

GFLP partners with the Museum of World Religions to participate in the Parliament, which is held every two years. Enganging in interfaith dialogue and listening to different practices’ perspectives on issues such as racism, climate change, and gender inequality is essential to GFLP’s goal of spreading peace and awareness.
