Major Subthemes
The 2009 Parliament of the World's Religions features seven programmatic subthemes that focus on different aspects of our overall theme: "Make a World of Difference: Hearing each other, Healing the earth." These subthemes have emerged out of the dialogues from previous Parliaments and continue to resonate as urgent matters to address in this time and place by the largest interreligious gathering in the world.
Each of these subthemes is a piece in the puzzle that must be put together if we want to see our visions of peace and justice for people everywhere, of all religious and spiritual traditions, become reality. They represent important ways of integrating personal and communal journeys into an ongoing commitment to make a difference in the world.
