The RYS originated in the early '80s at an international conference of religious scholars (Assembly of the World's Religions), sponsored by the International Religious Foundation. A few of the participants, including the co-author, Ronald Burr, were invited to a meeting convened by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon who sought support for an inter-religious, inter-cultural youth program that would foster friendship for the larger purpose of promoting world peace.
