Mission Statement

​The Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago, an inter-religious community of leaders from diverse faith traditions, serves the purposes to come together to know each other personally, professionally, and in their faith commitments and communities; to create opportunities to join together in sharing the prayers and spiritual practices of their traditions in the presence of each other and with the wider public; to expose shared and distinctive dimensions of their faith traditions; to engage in discussions about intra-and inter-religious and civic issues; to provide support for one another and their religious communities when subject to religious prejudice, discrimination, and persecution; and to take action, as people of faith and a community of conscience, on public issues that advance the common good.
