Towards a History of the Youth Involvement in Interfaith Dialogue
Prof. Patrice Brodeur
Interfaith Dialogue in its modern sense can be traced back to the 1893 World Parliament of Religions. The beginning of organized interfaith dialogue is linked to the creation of organizations dedicated to this new understanding of interreligious dialogue with, for example, the International Association of Religious Freedom (ARF) in 1900. However, youth involvement did not begin until much later, that is, in the 1970's. This lecture examines the rise of youth participation in a variety of international inter-religious organizations since then (IARF, Parliament of the World's Religions, etc.) with special focus on the Young Leadership Section of the International Council of Christians and Jews (ICC) and the Youth Section of the World Conference on Religion and Peace (WCRP).
