About us

World Council of Religions and Communities is an independent body to work in collaboration and cooperation with and to strengthen the United Nations and other international and national organizations that are dedicated to promote world peace, harmony, tolerance, mutual respect, and social and economic justice. We believe that diversity is a positive aspect of creation, that diversity is necessary for the growth and existence of the universe, that religions and communities must serve as a positive force to achieve world peace, that conflicts among religious and community groups are avoidable, and that harmony amongst them is to be consistently promoted through active discussions, dialogues and such other activities. We believe that it is our duty and responsibility to work together to promote peace and harmony among people belonging to different religious and community groups. We will accept what we can accept in the beliefs, faith and practices of other communities and respect what we can’t accept. We will uphold the values evolved in the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders in the U.N. General Assembly in August 2000.
