Abstract
FOR nearly two weeks-from September 22 to October 3-a Conference has sat in London to listen to the tenets of some of the principal living religions of the world as expounded by distinguished adherents. It was held on the initiative of the School of Oriental Studies and the Sociological Society. The Conference, it is believed, was the first of its kind and was intended primarily to be educative It aimed both at disseminating accurate information relating to the religions represented and at removing certain popular misunderstandings. Mohammedanism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, the religion of Sikhs, Jains and Pars is, and primitive religions were represented, for the most part by members of the British Empire. It thus affords some indication, imperfect perhaps, of the great variety of religious belief to be found within this one political organisation.
