Twila's Quest to the Parliament
Donation protected
I am raising money to attend the Parliament of World Religions which will be held on October 15-19, 2015, in Salt Lake City Utah. It will be hosted by the The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions.
Who is the Council?
The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions is a group of religious leaders that "was created in 1893 to cultivate harmony among the world's religious and spiritual communities and foster their engagement with the world and its guiding institutions in order to achieve a just, peaceful and sustainable world.
To accomplish this, we invite individuals and communities who are equally invested in attaining this goal."
What is the Parliament?
Is the largest and most inclusive gathering of faiths/traditions. They care for religions and nations working together in harmony with each other for the good of humanity.
What will be there?
Discussion seminars with topics on:
*wars, terrorism, and hate,
* climate change,
*widening wealth gap and wasteful consumption
There will also be:
* trainings in dialogue, interfaith activism, fundraising, and organizing
*World-class religious music, films, exhibits and performances
*And shop ethnic, international, religious books & merchandise
Why do I want to go?
I want to attend the parliament as a member of the Chicago Pagan Community. I will be actively sharing my experiences as a Pagan and how important working together can improve the community.
The parliament will bring together leaders, trainers and experts from around the world. Each one of them provides a unique opportunity for learning which I would bring back to Chicago to help the community grow.
Why should I go?
I have been a Pagan for over 13 years. For 7 years I have been part of Greater Chicagoland Pagan Pride and 3 of which I have been the event leader. I come recommended by other Pagan elders and leaders. Such as Selena Fox from Circle Sancutary and Angie Buchanan from Earth Traditions.
Attending this conference I will be bringing the knowledge and experience from being a leader of the Chicago Pagan community. I will also be an advocate of someone who has experience religious discrimination and has first hand experience on the importance of community unity and peace.
