Hosted by: The Vancouver School of Theology Inter-Religious Studies Program

The conference explores what the spirituality and practice of compassion should look like in our time.

"Compassion can bridge social divisions, uplift people in distress, inspire collective action, and create resilient communities. It is the ability to recognize, empathize with, and respond to others.

For many spiritual communities, compassion is both a core practice and an essential idea.

Spiritual traditions say compassion affirms the connectedness of all being, grounds an imperative to care, or is an essential divine trait."
