Council
for a Parliament
of the World's Religions
I am happy to welcome you to the 1993 Parliament of the World's Religions. We come to commemorate that glorious ground breaking event of 1893 and we come to better prepare ourselves to meet the challenges of the present and the future.

We ask that you delve deeply into the offerings of this event. They are rich and varied. There is something for most every taste or interest. But mostly we ask that you come to share, to learn, to enter into dialogue with others and to seek with others ways to overcome conflict and ways to nurture and heal our world and its peoples.
Most of us share the precept that it is good that we respect others even as we wish to be respected ourselves. May that be a watchword of this great and challenging opportunity.
I try to be a person of hope. I ask you to join me in the hope that from this gathering great good may come. Thank you for coming, for your faith, and for your hope. Welcome to an occasion which might send out beacons of hope to a troubled and broken world.
Let us laugh with joy, cry with sympathy and commit our efforts, both spiritual and temporal, to a future of peace.
