  2. Our Mission: The Parliament of the World's Religions was created to cultivate harmony among the world's religious and spiritual communities and foster their engagement with the world and its guiding institutions in order to achieve a just, peaceful and sustainable world. Our Approach: We seek to promote interreligious harmony, rather than unity. We foster convergence, rather than consensus, enabling appreciative, cooperative relationships. Our work is based on facilitation, rather than formal organizational structures.

The Parliament educates for peace & justice by: • Calling people of faith, spirit & goodwill to understand & respect differences • Creating cross cultural networks • that empower peace & reconciliation • Helpingparticipants to identify • religious & spiritual responses • Sensitizing communities to racial, ethnic and religious violence and providing strategies for defusing tensions
