World Religions Summit 2010 | Interfaith Leaders in the G8 Nations
We, 80 senior leaders of the world’s religions and faith-based organizations together with 13 youth delegates, from more than 20 countries representing Aboriginal, Bahá’í, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Shinto, and Sikh religious traditions, have convened in Winnipeg, Manitoba on the eve of Canada hosting expanded global summits.
This September, we approach the two-thirds point for the deadline to fulfill the Millennium Development Goals–eight goals that, if achieved, would bring hope to millions and be a major step toward a more sustainable global future.
In the spirit of continuity and persistence, we carry forward important work begun in annual gatherings of religious leaders during earlier G8 summits. Please download this file for a complete summary of the Summit
