LOOKINGFORWARD IN 2025
Dear Friends, It is with profound gratitude and unwavering hope for a brighter future, that we present the 2024 Annual Report of the Parliament of the World’s Religions.
From the view of 2025 glancing back over 2024, the Parliament dedicated substantial efforts confronting challenges, navigating troubled waters, and making difficult decisions. The Silver Lining is that we used the time to address concerns, uncovering lessons that could make the organization stronger, better, prepared to stay on the path of our mission. Each challenge called for reflection and selfanalysis. It was the power of unity and our shared vision of a world where peace, justice, and sustainability prevail that allowed us to re-emerge more strongly than ever.
Today, it is with great joy that we say Thank You! Thank you to our Parliament friends, supporters and donors, who helped us navigate the turbulent seas of last year. With a unified purpose and the resilience of our board of trustees, we now face the better days we dared to dream of just the year before. It was members, partners, contributors and patrons, who believed in the Parliament that made the difference. We are grateful for the kind and generous support. While there is still much to be done before we can declare victory over all the challenges of last year we are in a good place and excited about the future.
The year 2025 introduced a stream of challenges impacting individuals, organizations and businesses globally. There is great concern about the unprecedented predicaments that flood our daily media under the heading ‘breaking news.’ Recognizing that the moment calls for clear leadership and ethical conviction, the Parliament intends to remain focused and committed to the principles and values expressed in our signature document “Towards A Global Ethic” (parliamentofreligions.org/global ethic). This document continues to ground us in our purpose to cultivate harmony among the world's diverse spiritual and religious communities and continues to frame our efforts in the heart and soul of the ancient wisdom of the golden rule.
So, please join us. Whether through partnership, collaboration, advocacy, or donating to our work, the opportunities to help are plentiful. Perhaps you will share our message with others, join an interfaith group in your local community, attend a webinar offered by the Parliament on climate change, gender equality, discussion programs on pressing issues facing our world and more. Your support can make a world of difference, and a difference in the world. Together, let us rise to the challenges of our era and create a positive legacy of compassion, resilience, and unity that will help raise the consciousness on the planet, our home.
From the heart of, and on behalf of the board of trustees, current and former, thank you for your support – past, present and into a brighter future deserving of our children’s children.
Rev. Charline Manuel
2025 Chair, Parliament of the World’s Religions
