Footsteps of Peace: Buddhist Monks Trek 2,300 Miles to D.C.

A group of about two dozen Buddhist monks is walking roughly 2,300 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. on a Walk for Peace led by Bhikkhu Pannakara, visiting state capitals to spread a message of peace with no political agenda. The pilgrimage, backed by a large social media following, has drawn everyday supporters and Christian protesters, and has faced challenges including a Texas car crash that injured two monks; they expect to arrive in Washington, D.C. around Feb. 10, 2026, possibly meeting with lawmakers as part of their mindfulness-focused journey.

Global Interfaith Leaders Unite to Combat Authoritarianism in Chicago

More than 6,000 interfaith leaders from various religions and belief systems are gathering in Chicago for the week-long Parliament of the World's Religions, focusing on combating authoritarianism and defending freedom and human rights. The event, which marks the organization's return to its roots in Chicago, will feature speakers such as U.N. Secretary General António Guterres and former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Topics on the agenda include climate change, human rights, food insecurity, racism, and women's rights. The interfaith movement has evolved to become more diverse and inclusive, although conservative Catholics, evangelicals, and Muslims have not embraced it.

King Charles' Coronation Embraces Interfaith Cooperation and Respect for Religious Observance

Britain's chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, will attend the coronation of King Charles III along with other faith leaders. Mirvis will spend the night at St. James's Palace to avoid breaking the Jewish Sabbath and will walk to Westminster Abbey for the coronation service. After the Christian service, the chief rabbi will join other religious leaders in making a spoken declaration towards the newly crowned monarch. The service will be overwhelmingly Christian, but Charles has a long interest in bridging religious divides and has spoken about acting as "defender of faith" in general.
