More than 800 people gathered in Notre Dame Chapel at Trinity College to hear World Bank President James D. Wolfensohn present the Third Annual Richard W. Snowdon Lecture on March 30, 2004. The program, sponsored by the InterFaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington, begn with the IFC's 25th Anniversary Recommitment Ceremony.

Mr.Wolfensohn's lecture explored the role of faiths in combating some of the world's greatest problems. He challenged the audience to join together to address these issues: "I say to you that our community is a global community, that our community cannot be safe, our hopes and aspirations cannot be satisfied, and our faiths cannot be fulfilled unless we come together to try and make the world a better place." His lecture was followed by an engaging question and answer session with the audience.
