On Thursday, October 1st, two cities on opposite sides of the world will both host a Pre-Parliament Event.

In Sydney, Australia, ten organisations and communities will be hosting their event “Seeking Social Cohesion — Sharing Our Wisdom.” The event, which is subtitled “Social Networking Beyond Facebook” will give youth of different faith traditions an opportunity to meet and interact and will also feature a variety of speakers including Irene Beaumaris.  For more information, click here.

Over an ocean away, St. Edward’s University Austin will be hosting their own Pre-Parliament event titled “A Gathering of Faiths.” A series of booths and displays throughout the campus will celebrate different religious traditions and the event will also include several panel discussions including one on the theme of the Nostra Aetate.  For more information, click here.
