RFP-USA's National Gathering of Religious Leaders
At the invitation from key members of the Council of Presidents of Religions for Peace-USA, over 50 senior representatives from Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian (Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant), Hindu, Islamic, Jain, Jewish, Shinto, Sikh, and Zoroastrian traditions met in Chicago during Jan. 23-25 for the National Gathering of Religious Leaders. As well as being an opportunity to strengthen relationships across faith lines, the event helped identify where religious leaders have common concerns and institutional interests. The participants defined ways in which their desired objectives would be met in the future work of ‘Religions for Peace-USA’ and through partnerships with other interfaith institutions. An outcome document is available and will be circulated to attendees and invited guests.
