Parliament of the World's Religions: December 3-9 Melbourne, Australia

The Parliament of the World's Religions global gathering will meet December 3-9, 2009 in Melbourne, Australia. Over 10,000 people from all over the world are expected to meet and engage in interreligious dialogue and address global issues such as: Healing the earth with care and concern; Reconciling with indigenous peoples; Overcoming poverty in a patriarchal world; Securing food and water for all; Building peace in the pursuit of justice; Creating social cohesion in village and city; and Sharing wisdom in the search for inner peace.

I've embedded a video that documents the development of the Parliament from its 1893 inception in Chicago to this years meeting in Melbourne.
