Can, can you tell us what are you, you personally most interested in what might come out of this summit?
96:14
Well, I, I am intrigued.
96:15
I, I think the, uh, the topics that are being discupped, discussed in the entire, uh, range of religious leaders and civic leaders and, and even government leaders who participate in this three-day event, it's an impressive list, and one would hope that addressing poverty, addressing human trafficking, uh, addressing peace building, peacemaking, um, AI and, and its role in our lives going forward, um, w- you hope that the representatives that come from this forum will take something meaningful to the economic summit and, and allow those world leaders to see that as this group says 84% of the people in the world belong to one faith or another, and faiths working together can actually make a difference when it comes to all of these topics.
97:11
So it will be interesting to see what powerful statements come from these discussions.

Carole, is there an, uh, an overarching theme to this year's event or something that you're expecting to hear maybe more or something different than, than i- past events like this?
100:12
Well, I, I think there's an ongoing conversation, uh, every time an interfaith, uh, group gets together.
100:19
The title of this is Resilient Hope and Shared Future.
100:24
I, I think there is a growing knowledge among, uh, faith leaders in the world that, um, there is so much disagreement.
