1993 PARLIAMENT OF THE WORLD'S RELIGIONS
ASSEMBLY OF RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL LEADERS
More than 150 religious and spiritual leaders from around the world will attend the 1993 Parliament of the World's Religions, and while they are in Chicago they will meet privately together during the last three days of the Parliament. This Assembly of Religious and Spiritual Leaders is an opportunity for these persons to discuss and share visions of hope for the world in an informal setting. It is convened by the Trustees of the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions for the following purposes.
• To provide an opportunity for Assembly members to come to know other spiritual and
religious leaders in ways which could support future collaboration and action together for peace, the relief of suffering, and the preservation of the planet.
• To offer the Declaration of a Global Ethic and its supporting Principles for
endorsement by Assembly participants.
• To invite Assembly members to identify common values and to propose projects, actions,
or programs to the Trustees of the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions. The Council will consider ways to implement these proposals itself and, where appropriate, in collaboration with other organizations.
