The 10th World Assembly of Religions for Peace was held last month at in Lindau, Germany on Lake Constance. This was a large and diverse gathering, 900 participants from 125 countries, thoroughly prepared and organized around the theme “Caring for our Common Future – Advancing Shared Well-Being.” The outcomes are reflected in a Declaration which highlights the broad issues discussed, and focuses on several “action points,” effectively a study agenda for interfaith students and activists everywhere. The Declaration acknowledges that “we are experiencing what we call a ‘meta-crisis’ of our modern order,” and the balance of the document unpacks how, together, we need to respond.
