I am honored to once again be serving as Program Chair for the 2023 Parliament of the World's Religions, beginning exactly one year from today, August 14-18, at the McCormick Place Lakeside Center in Chicago.

This Parliament's theme is A Call to Conscience: Defending Freedom & Human Rights, and we will convene to address the rise in autocracy, the climate crisis, the erosion of human rights, and the ever growing threat of hate, war, and violence.

In August of 2023, the Parliament of the World’s Religions returns to the birthplace of the modern interfaith movement after 30 years away to celebrate 130 years of history in the city of Chicago. Parliament Convenings attract participants from more than 200 diverse religious, indigenous, and secular beliefs and more than 80 nations.

Registrants enjoy access to all the plenary sessions, hundreds of breakout sessions, art and cultural exhibits, performances, a film festival, and countless opportunities to connect with individuals and organizations committed to justice, peace, and sustainability.

The 2023 Parliament of the World’s Religions will be hosted in McCormick Place Lakeside Center from August 14-18, 2023. Register now!

Hope to see you there!
