How can people today find hope to promote and sustain collective action? How do we tackle the challenges facing the world and work towards a more positive future? What role can diverse faith traditions play in helping us face the most pressing demands of our time?
These were topics addressed at the June 15-17 Our Whole Society Conference by people such as former Minister of Global Affairs, Lloyd Axworthy, international human rights lawyer Payam Akhavan, and environmentalist Elin Kelsey, author of the book Hope Matters: Why Changing the Way We Think Is Critical to Solving the Environmental Crisis.
The theme of the conference, which is sponsored by the Canadian Interfaith Conversation (CIC), is Fostering Hope in a Divided World. It was held at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg.
