San Francisco
In recognition of the work of local organizers in fostering interfaith cooperation, peace and social cohesion, the Partner Cities Network is pleased to award
San Francisco, California, USA
with the designation of Peace City.
To learn more about local interfaith initiatives in San Francisco check out past events below. To support their local work, connect through PeaceNext.org.
- What do Chicago, Cape Town, and Barcelona have in common?
- How did a 19th century Hindu monk change world religion?
- What happens when 10,000 people from different spiritual traditions converge in one place?
- To whom did the Australian government offer a collective apology?
- And what are we taking to Melbourne?!?
These questions and more were explored at Taking It To Melbourne, a Pre-Parliament of the World’s Religions Event. We had video clips and pictures on a big screen along with personal stories of people who have journeyed to past Parliaments. Rt. Rev. David Ponedel showed photos and told stories from the last three Parliaments. Interfaith filmmaker Ruth Broyde-Sharone, traveling the globe promoting the Melbourne event, brought us up to date. And we had a special feature.
Californians (and visitors from afar) who have proposed workshops for the Dec. 3-9, 2009, Parliament of the World’s Religions in Melbourne were invited to be part of the program, taking two or three minutes to explain their workshop proposals and why they are important to them.
