In the Information Age, digital data powers our work, entertainment and economy, and helps shape the context for our daily lives. Yet, these precious electronic bits -- stored in memory sticks, on DVDs, in hard drives, and on magnetic tape -- are surprisingly fragile and far more susceptible to obsolescence and loss than more traditional ways of preserving information such as stone, parchment and paper.

The lifetime of electronic media is relatively short, often requiring the migration of data between new generations of storage, as well as the management of that information at every point of its life cycle.

Mark Amaru Pinkham, of the International Order of Gnostic Templars, is currently inviting leaders from many of the world's religious sects to come together on the small island paradise to speak and share the links that unite their respective traditions. In some cases Pinkham even intends to investigate their common origins, which is one reason why he has chosen Sri Lanka, Islam's Garden of Eden and therefore the birthplace of all religion, as the site of the conference . Says Pinkham: "This conference represents the culmination of the work undertaken by the Knights Templar around the globe during much of the last one thousand years."
