There have been several meetings referred to as a Parliament of the World\u2019s Religions, most notably the World’s Parliament of Religions of 1893, the first attempt to create a global dialogue of faiths. The event was celebrated by another conference on its centenary in 1993. This led to a new series of conferences under the official title „Parliament of the World’s Religions“.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In 1893, the city of Chicago hosted the World Columbian Exposition, an early world\u2019s fair. So many people were coming to Chicago from all over the world that many smaller conferences, called Congresses and Parliaments, were scheduled to take advantage of this unprecedented gathering. A number of congresses were held in conjunction with the exposition, including those dealing with anthropology (one of the major themes of Exposition exhibits), labor, medicine, temperance, commerce and finance, literature, history, art, philosophy, and science. One of these was the World\u2019s Parliament of Religions. The Parliament of Religions was by far the largest of the congresses held in conjunction with the Exposition.
