ILRS Holds 2006 Congress in Oslo

A warm Scandinavian midsummer weekend in June welcomed delegates from eighteen nations, five continents and four faiths to Sørmarka, the historical meeting place of the Norwegian social democratic and labour movement, for the 2006 ILRS Congress.

With the theme of 'social globalisation', the task of making globalisation a more socially driven process was presented through two main documents and contributions from a diverse group of speakers, including noted author Irshad Manji, Indian social justice activist Swami Agnivesh, author and former IUSY Vice-President Sergio Moya Mena, and Filipino Citizens' Action Party President Ronaldo Llamas. Additionally, the topic of interfaith dialogue was featured as an essential part of our own work toward social globalisation.

The congress was organised with the generous help of our Norwegian member organisation Kristne Arbeidere, the Norwegian Labour Party, and the Olof Palme International Center.

A full report on the congress is available at the congress web site: www.socialglobalisation.org.

We publish a quarterly online journal in English, entitled Faith, which provides analysis of political events from a religious socialist perspective, as well as informs our members of news and developments with the League.
