Interreligious organisation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An interreligious organisation or interfaith organisation is an organisation that encourages dialogue and cooperation between the world's different religions. In 1893, the Parliament of the Worlds Religions held, in conjunction with the World Columbian Exposition, a conference in Chicago that is believed to be the first interfaith gathering of significance. In the century since, many organizations have been founded.
