European Council of Religious Leaders (ECRL) is a European interreligious council for cooperation between senior leaders of religious traditions represented in Europe (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism)).
This vision grows out of the shared commitment of faith traditions to human dignity and the right to live in peace.
On this basis religious leaders have committed themselves to work together in order to prevent conflict, promote peaceful coexistence and encourage their communities to do the same.
Based in the different religious traditions and Holy Books, the Council encourages a common moral responsibility for the prevention of conflict and the promotion of dialogue.
In a continent where religion has often been seen as a source of conflict, the European Council of Religious Leaders seeks to be a resource for peace.
