The URI began in 1993 when Bishop William Swing, Episcopal Diocese of California, was asked by an official at the United Nations to host an interfaith worship service to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the UN. He looked for an existent organization, but could not find one. Thus, he began a project to create a global organization that would enlist people worldwide in building a global organization that would endure.
