Notas do Editor
- PWR is world’s largest interreligious gathering. About 10,000 people are expected to attend next Parliament, to be held in Melbourne December 3-9 2009. Parliament is popular event. Anyone can attend – not a body of official delegates or representatives. Not a legislative body purpose of today’s focus group: to ask for your input about how to create an event that reflects the character and aspirations of Australian religious and spiritual communities and which will make a lasting contribution to Australia and the world the Parliament is more than an event … it’s also a process and a mechanism which religious and spiritual communities in Melbourne and across Australia can begin to use straight away to promote better relations and foster positive social change. note strong Indigenous flavour of logo, will be an important element of the Parliament, and Parliament activities – acknowledge local owners of the land Before we begin asking questions, short powerpoint presentation about the history of the Parliament which will provide a context for our discussion.
- First Parliament held in Chicago as part of the Columbian Exposition, celebrating 400 years of Western culture in America Began on September 11, 1893, attended by over 4,000 people, lasted 17 days Regarded as birth of formal international interreligious dialogue – first formal dialogue in history between spiritual traditions of East and West “ Star” of the Parliament was Hindu Swami Vivekananda. Concept was ahead of its time – refer to wars, genocide of 20 th century However, Vivekananda established a Hindu organisation in Chicago which still exists –Vedantist Society – played a pivotal role in renaissance of the Parliament [NB. Bill thinks man on bottom left is Frederick Bonner, Chairperson]
- 1988 – couple of Swamis from the Vivekananda Centre suggested holding a centennial event in Chicago in 1993. Expected about 1000 people, mainly, scholars, looking back on the 1893 Parliament Formed an organising body called the Council for the Parliament of the World’s Religions So successful that had to close registrations when reached 8,000 people, of whom 3,200 came from outside the US Decided to hold a Parliament once every five years in a different city NB. Monk on bottom left is Ven Thich Nhat Hanh, famous Vietnamese Zen monk. Dirk, who are the guys bottom right?
