________________ PROGRAM CLUSTER Disaster Relief Before there was an International Red Cross or United Nations Refugee Relief Agency, there were religious and spiritual communities. Over the centuries, these communities have responded to human and ecological disasters brought on by drought, floods, hurricanes, fires, social and political upheaval and war. Today these communities work side-by-side with outstanding local, national and interreligious relief organisations to serve on the first-lines in providing aid to millions around the world for whom the imminent availability of water, food, shelter and medical care are a matter of life and death. Accounts of the extraordinary relief efforts tied to religious and spiritual motivations will be highlighted at the 2009 Parliament, with special attention paid to the practical ways in which their vital missions can and must be supported.
