Brussels to host next Parliament of World Religions
Brussels, the capital of Belgium and of the European Union, has been selected to host the 2014 Parliament of the World’s Religions.
As the capital of the European Union, Brussels is a microcosm of the challenges and possibilities present in an increasingly multi-religious and multi-cultural continental society. Historical and geo-political dynamics connect Brussels and Europe to the Middle East and North Africa in powerful ways that have international implications.
The compelling global case for a Parliament in Brussels was amplified by the urgent need to address the issue of social cohesion in Europe. The role of Brussels as the capital of the European Union provides a regional and international reach, and taps into widespread dynamics that ultimately impact every corner of the world.
