    Expressing support for the Parliament of the World's Religions.

Whereas the Parliament of the World's Religions first convened at the 1893 
        World's Columbian Exposition in the city of Chicago, Illinois;
Whereas the Parliament of the World's Religions is returning to the city of 
        Chicago in 2023 to celebrate its 130th anniversary;
Whereas the Parliament of the World's Religions serves as the world's premier 
        interfaith convening organization; and
Whereas religious communities living in harmony contribute to a better world: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) supports the Parliament of the World's Religions and 
        wishes it continued success in promoting interfaith 
        conversations and interactions; and
            (2) recognizes the vital role that interfaith conversations 
        have in promoting a just, peaceful, and sustainable world.
