Exchange and cooperation between young and old generations in religious communities and international relations will be the theme of a conference to be held Oct. 4-7 in Lindau, Lake Constance: The “Conference of the World Council of Religious Leaders on Faith and Diplomacy: Generations in Dialogue.”
The gathering will be hybrid in organization: About 150 people will be present in Lindau and virtually about 700 participants are expected worldwide.
For four days, discussion panels and interactive workshops will focus on the three main themes of Peace and Security, Environment and Humanitarianism – always with a view to the extent to which young people can and must be involved as multipliers in global peace processes. In view of globally active youth movements, the questions arise: How do activists become the next leaders and where are they already today?
Religions for Peace and Ring for Peace with the support of the German Federal Foreign Office, are pleased to inform you about the Conference of the World Council of Religious Leaders on Faith and Diplomacy: Generations in Dialogue, which will be held in Lindau, Germany, from 4-7 October 2021.
This Conference will convene the World Council of Religions for Peace, including members of the Interfaith Youth and Women’s networks, together with partners representing governmental, intergovernmental and civil society institutions (including academia), in a hybrid modality.
Focusing on the nexus of Diplomacy and Religions with regards to Environmental concerns, Humanitarianism and Peace and Security, this interactive conversation will deliberately engage different generations in dialogue.

World Council of Religious Leaders
The conference will kick off with the formal meeting of the “World Council of Religious Leaders,” which was newly elected in 2019 during the 10th World Assembly in Lindau. The Council consists of 61 principal members and is the main decision-making body of Religions for Peace.
The associated religious leaders represent millions of believers around the world, and their voices carry influence and weight in their faith communities and beyond.
The World Council includes, for example, the two Germans Margot Käßmann and Thomas Schirrmacher (Christianity), the granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi living in South Africa Ela Gandhi (Hinduism) and Vinu Aram from India (Hinduism), Kosho Niwano from Japan (Buddhism), Rabbis David Rosen from Israel (Judaism) and Joseph Potasnik from New York, Cardinal Charles Bo (Christianity) of Myanmar, and Muslims Shaykh Abdallah Bin Bayyah of the United Arab Emirates and Sultan Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III of Nigeria – ranked by The Muslim 500 in 2020 as two of the world’s 20 most influential Muslims
