“From Peoria to Australia – Travelers to Parliament of Religions Share Their
Stories”
UU Rev. Michael Brown and 7 other members of the Peoria, IL UU Congregation who are just back from attending the Parliament of Religions in Melbourne, Australia will be sharing their once-in-a-lifetime experiences with UCD. We’ll have the opportunity to hear from them about the keynote presentations and about a few of the workshops they attended (out of over 600 which were offered,) to see some of the images which they brought back with them, and to learn of their reflections upon the Parliament. Others present at the Parliament of Religions were the Dalai Lama, President Jimmy Carter, Thich Nhat Hanh, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Prof. Dr. Hans Kung, Jim Wallis, and more!
