Who Are the Religious Leaders?
The
Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago (CRLMC), a non-profit
organization, is comprised of the head religious leadership of practically
every major religious tradition in the broader Chicago area, representing
nearly six million people. Through its work, the CRLMC speaks with a unified
moral voice on issues of the day; creates a climate of better interfaith
understanding and cooperation; and participates in programs which advance its
work.
CRLMC was founded more than 25 years ago. This was a time when racial tensions and social injustices were on the rise. The organization began when a group of religious leaders in Chicago recognized the growing need to understand cultural and religious differences and learn how to work with one another. Here is a brief description of the CRLMC » |
