Religions for Peace
- The idea of creating a worldwide organization of religions committed to the pursuit of peace dates back to the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, when a group of religious leaders convened a World's Parliament of Religions. This vision became a reality in 1970 when the first World Conference of Religions for Peace met in Kyoto in October of that year. The Conference is dedicated to "creating multi-religious partnerships that mobilize the moral and social resources of religious people to address their shared problems." Some of their recent accomplishments include building a new climate of reconciliation in Bosnia and Kosovo and mediating dialogue among warring factions in Sierra Leone.
