Seriously? WTF?

Vision: To use the interfaith search for shared values and mutual respect in promoting a more peaceful and sustainable world. To use religious beliefs and spiritual practices as the basis for efforts to eliminate poverty and support women's rights. To hold up Swami Vivekananda's embodiment of this work to the world and share the ongoing relevance of his message to the global interreligious movement.

Conference Overview
The World Congress of Religions 2012 will explore the relevance of religion and spirituality in addressing the critical issues of poverty, the empowerment of women, human rights and peacemaking. The gathering will bring together engaged leaders, scholars, activists and members from diverse religious and spiritual communities, engaged actors in the local and global interreligious movements, as well as influential policy makers and civil society actors from guiding institutions such as government, business, education, science, media, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The event is inspired and informed by the message of the religious and social visionary, Swami Vivekananda, on the 150 th anniversary of his birth.


Dr. Condoleezza Rice, a symbol of Empowerment of Women is credited with breaking several barriers which had been in the man’s domain so far. She served as the 66th Secretary of State of the United States from January 2005-2009, the second woman and first African American woman to hold the post. Earlier Rice had served as President George W. Bush’s Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (National Security Advisor) from January 2001-2005, the first woman to hold the position.

Rice currently serves on the board of C3, an energy software company, Makena Capital, a private endowment firm, and Kior, a renewable fuels company. In addition, she is a member of the boards of the Commonwealth Club, the Aspen Institute, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
