From here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"The largest and oldest interfaith gathering in the world, this year\u2019s parliament took place from Nov. 1-7 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The Toronto-based event brought together an estimated 10,000 people from 80 countries, spanning more than 200 different religions, faiths, and belief systems, for a week of programs, discussions, and interactive experiences.<\/p>\n

The Anglican Church of Canada had an official booth in the exhibit hall, where clergy and volunteers were on hand to speak to attendees, and share information about the church national.<\/p>\n

The Rev. Dr. Scott Sharman, Animator for Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations in the Anglican Church of Canada was one of the official representatives on site.<\/p>\n

Sharman described Canadian Anglican attendance at PoWR as a \u201cministry of presence\u201d and a valuable opportunity to converse with people about \u201cwhere Anglican expressions of Christianity fit within the wider world of inter-religious dialogue, and ways that we can find common ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWithin our history, [there has] always been a tradition that has been able to find ways to live in dialogue across different approaches and different perspectives on theological issues,\u201d Sharman said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s kind of been hardwired into Anglican DNA within the Anglican family. [\u2026] Certainly it\u2019s important just because so many of the economic and political and social and ecological issues of our time deeply involve how people think about the world, and how people structure their communities and think about the meaning of life and make decisions. Religion is part of how that happens.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overheard later in the Anglican booth: \u201cwhatever you do, don\u2019t mention Jesus. I did once, but I think I got away with it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
