The Columbian Congress of the Universalist Church (1894) with Universalist Church of America, Ill.) World's Columbian Exposition (1893 : Chicago
When the World's Columbian Exposition brought the World's Parliament of Religions to Chicago in 1893, the Universalist Church convened its own congress and put its best minds on the platform.
