United Religions Initiative North American - Briefings

For anyone in the LA area: Ruth Broyde-Sharon’s film God & Allah Need to Talk will be playing in Santa Monica on Peace Sunday (outdated but informational site), December 18. The event is sponsored by the Unity and Diversity World Council and co-sponsored by several organizations, including the URI. “Peace Sunday is a single day at the height of the holydays season devoted solely to the creation of Peace. The multi-cultural, multi-faith program begins at 8 am, and accompanied by the 12 hour expo, concludes at 8 pm. It is a call to all peace-loving people to come forth and uphold together our culture of peace.”

A program called World’s Religions after September 11: A Global Congress will be held in Montreal, Canada from September 11 through 15, 2006. They have recently issued a call for abstracts for individual presentations, panel presentations, and symposia.

Papers should be submitted via the congress web site. All participants in your proposal will be required to fully register for the Congress if your proposal is accepted for the program. You must insure that every individual named in you proposal registers for the Congress before the deadline so as not to jeopardize the inclusion of your session in the Congress program.
