Council of the World's Religions
The Council for the World's Religions (CWR) exists to foster harmony and
mutual respect among the religions and believers of the world. It
believes in the positive power of spiritual ideals and interreligious
cooperation to change the world for the better. It seeks to dissolve the
bitter legacy of strife, hatred and rivalry which has plagued the
religious world and has prevented believers from realizing the noble
ideals of their scriptures and traditions. The activities of the Council
have three aims: intrareligious reconciliation, which seeks harmony among
adherents of particular traditions or denominations within religions;
interreligious reconciliation, seeking harmony between adherents of
different religions; and cooperation and mutual understanding among
existing interfaith organizations.
"The CWR is doing highly valuable interfaith work. Its conferences bring
together representatives of all the world's religions, creating an
atmosphere of tolerance and respect in which they can question, learn and
grow in understanding. Long may it flourish."
Rabbi David J. Goldberg
