American Sikh Council to represent the Sikh Faith and Sikh community in the upcoming conference of the Parliament of the World’s Religions on November 2018 in Toronto, Canada.
Frequency: Conference held once every four years, last one in Australia.
Audience: Over 10,000 top religious leaders are expected from all over the globe.
This is an opportunity to showcase the Sikh Faith and educate the top leaders of various Faiths who are unfamiliar with our Faith. The impact of this is far reaching as these leaders will go back to their respective countries and Faith communities with a slightly different mindset than before.
