Diplomacy is the oldest means of trying to build peaceful, just, inclusive coexistence in our global community. Religion is the oldest system of language, instruction and institutional existence. Where do the two meet?
Religions for Peace and Ring for Peace with the support of the German Federal Foreign Office, are pleased to inform you about the Conference of the World Council of Religious Leaders on Faith and Diplomacy: Generations in Dialogue, which will be held in Lindau, Germany, from 4-7 October 2021. The official program is available on the Event website.
This Conference will convene the World Council of Religions for Peace, including members of the Interfaith Youth and Women’s networks, together with partners representing governmental, intergovernmental and civil society institutions (including academia), in a hybrid modality.
Focusing on the nexus of Diplomacy and Religions with regards to Environmental concerns, Humanitarianism and Peace and Security, this interactive conversation will deliberately engage different generations in dialogue.
Questions may be directed to event@ringforpeace.org
Press Conferences are scheduled for September 15th, October 4th, and October 7th. Reporters may register for any of the press conferences by filling out the following form:
