IARF 1999 Congress
Creating an Earth Community: A Religious Imperative
Vancouver, Canada 29 July - 3 August 1999
The International Association for Religious Freedom is committed to working for a more just and peaceful world through interfaith cooperation. It invited all those who share this commitment to participate in the 30th IARF World Congress, which marked the beginning of the centenary celebration of the IARF.
In dialogue Congress participants faced up to the challenges of the 21st century: How are religious communities to support humane and sustainable alternatives to the economic globalization of life? How are the spiritual disciplines to be strengthened in our materialistic world? How are those who support freedom of religion or belief to promote respect for fundamental human rights and reconciliation among people who are divided? How may all those of goodwill join together in creating an earth community?
The Congress Study Group on Economic Globalization discussed the reasons for supporting cancellation of the debt of the world's poorest countries. To learn more about this issue visit the Jubilee 2000 Coalition.
