Lotus Center for All Faiths Team Attends 2018 Parliament of the World’s Religions

Yogaville’s Lotus Center for All Faiths (LCAF) team returned this week from Toronto where they took part in the Parliament of the World’s Religions. For its 2018 theme, the Parliament drew from movements of goodwill and cross-cultural respect that are embodied in the spirit of the interfaith movement: “The Promise of Inclusion, the Power of Love: Pursuing Global Understanding, Reconciliation, and Change.” It featured more than 500 programs and events across six major tracks: The Dignity of Women Across the World’s Wisdom Traditions; Peace and Love: Not War, Hate & Violence; Care for Our Earth, Responsibility for Our Future; The Spiritual Evolution of Humanity & Healing Our Mother Earth; Interfaith Has No Age, Youth Voices for Change; and Advancing Concrete Change Toward a Just, Peaceful, and Sustainable World.
