Common Good and Wellbeing for All St. Michael Anglican Church 12996-60th Av, Surrey, BC September 12, 2009
The Global Clergy Association of Canada, along with other religious and interfaith organizations of Greater Vancouver, hosted a Pre-Parliament Event in association with the Council of Parliament of World’s Religions, Chicago, USA on September 12, 2009 at St. Michael’s Church in Surrey.

Bishop M. Ingham of West Minster Anglican Diocese graced the Event as a Keynote speaker. Representatives from different religions offerred a short prayer. There were also speeches on the theme of the event and interreligious activities in British Columbia, classical Indian dance, round table discussions, a Christian chorus, closing remarks, and a time for prayer. We hoped to:

• Promote, spur and augment inter-religious dialogue, and further efforts towards understanding and harmony;
• Increase Vancouver area outreach for the 2009 Melbourne, Australia Conference;
• Promote peace and environment awareness among the diverse traditions of religions and faiths.
