The 33rd World Religions Conference is planned for October 6, 2016 at the River Run Centre, Guelph, Ontario, Canada. Scholars from various religions and philosophical traditions are invited to participate.
The World Religions Conference (WRC) is an multi-faith event which brings together well-known scholars from the world’s major religions to speak on a common topic from the point of view of their respective religious traditions. For thirty-three years, WRC has served as an invaluable forum for different religious and ethnic communities to gather in the spirit of tolerance, peace, cooperation, and understanding. The WRC serves the noble purpose of educating members of the community regarding interesting and relevant topics by providing a platform where all major religions can pool their collective wisdom and teachings regarding the topic. Continually on the rise in terms of organizational standards, quality of content, and attendance, WRC has become the largest multi-faith event in Canada.
With its ever-growing profile in the Waterloo Region and Canadian society in general, WRC has become a central meeting place for religious leaders and their communities. The conference has had the honour of being noted by prominent figures including the Governor General of Canada and the Chief Justice of Canada, in addition to dozens of other local, provincial and national leaders.
The speakers are specially sought out and invited by the organizing committee to ensure that each faith is represented by a knowledgeable scholar of that particular faith, who does justice to the topic and the religion that he or she represents.
