The Harmonic Convergence was a loosely-organized new age spiritual event that occurred on 1987, August 17th, when groups of people gathered in various sacred sites and "mystical" places all over the world to usher in a new era, a date based primarily on the Maya calendar, but also on interpretations of European and Asian astrology.
The Harmonic Convergence was to be the end of the "hell" cycles and the beginning of a new age of universal peace, as foretold in the Mayan Prophecies.
According to some, the Harmonic Convergence also began the final 26 year countdown to the end of the Mayan Long Count in 2012, which would be the end of history and the beginning of a new 5,200 year cycle.

The term "convergence" has gained currency recently in describing the modern newsroom, where the most modern technologies, skills, and methods are employed to relay information in a timely and useful fashion via a variety of formats.
Reformists also discuss convergence, with former legislator Hussein Ansari-Rad saying that free elections, publicly defined national interests, and citizens' exercising their rights represent the convergence of the people and officials, "Farhang-i Ashti" reported on 1 March.
"Convergence" is also used in a foreign-policy context, with Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani saying on 30 January: "Iran believes one of the effective ways in confronting expansionist ambitions of the world arrogance and the Zionist regime is to strengthen convergence and unity among regional countries," IRNA reported.

 THAT THEY MAY BE ONE: To heal the scandal of the fragmented Church
The Renaissance period is consensually deemed to have marked the end of the Middle Ages, the burgeoning of modernism, the decline of traditional Catholic religion as the dominant Western socio-political force, and the rise of the secular nation-state as a political paradigm.
The time-honoured unity of Empire and Papacy, with all of Christendom operating under one civil authority acting in synergy with a central religious authority over spiritual matters, was discarded.
The loss of Christian unity vastly diminished Christian capacity for coordinated resistance to the sustained assaults of spiritual evil--a state of affairs that has become woefully obvious in the last third of the 20th-Century as what is left of Christian civilization slides ever deeper into an abyss of moral depravity.

Given the LDS focus on the importance of central authority figure who can make binding policy and doctrine, it is perhaps not surprising that doctrinal convergence spills over to social convergence.

 HYLE 10-2 (2004): Bridging the Gaps: Science Fiction in Nanotechnology
NBIC supporters argue that the impetus for convergence is driven by "the integration and synergy of the four technologies (nano-bio-info-cogno) [that] originate from the nanoscale, where the building blocks of matter are established" (Roco and Bainbridge 2003, p.
The integration between bio and nano is possible because the unity of matter at the nanoscale means that the structure of both organic and inorganic materials is determined by the same fundamental principles.
If synchronically it is the ontological unity of the social and natural world arising from a common molecular grammar that makes NBIC convergence inevitable, diachronically it is the ontologization of the history of humanity as a transhistorical quest for improvements in human performance.
