Taiwan to host interfaith Conference

This item featuring the Museum of World Religions caught my eye. Apparently it is hosting an interfaith conference.

IsraelNN.com) More than 50 religious leaders from around the world, representing Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism, will meet in Taipei, Taiwan, between November 28 and December 1, 2005 to collaborate on contemporary issues facing all leading religions. Of particular focus at the meeting will be youth suicide and developing efforts - begun at the first such conference in Seville, Spain, in 2003 - to address the increasing secularization of society.

My kids and I went there in August after attending a Robin Gibb (Bee Gees) concert. We weren't impressed. Glad to see them talking about teen suicide.
