The Council of Wisdom is an international, interfaith community of broad-minded, forward-thinking people sharing ideas and working together to create a better world.
Founded in March 2009 and legally incorporated as a nonprofit organization in the state of Virginia, USA, the Council of Wisdom already has members from 13 countries including the United States, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Tanzania, Nigeria, England, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Poland. Our members come from a wide diversity of spiritual backgrounds including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Baha'i, and Unitarian Universalism.
The Council of Wisdom envisions itself becoming a major global institution connecting leaders, thinkers, and creative workers from diverse fields such as religion, science, the arts and humanities. We intend to become a vast, all-embracing, nongovernmental parliament of progressive intellectuals from all over the world, using online forums and local meeting groups to facilitate constructive dialogue and develop collaborative projects and plans of action on important issues.

We invite you to subscribe to our weekly newsletter for updates.
