and institutions. • To encourage the spirit of harmony and to celebrate, with openness and mutual respect, the rich diversity of religions. To assess and to renew the role of the religions of the world in relation to personal spiritual growth and to the critical issues and challenges facing the global community. To promote and sponsor conferences, workshops, and studies; interfaith encounters, conversations, and exchanges; publications; exhibits and festivals of religious art, music, dance, and ritual; and other appropriate
activities, in anticipation of and preparation for the 1993 Parliament. • To develop and encourage interfaith groups and programs which will carry the spirit of the Parliament into the twenty-first century.
