International Peace Council The Peace Council is an organization built around a core membership of 16 of the world's religious and spiritual leaders. It is a response to the many appeals at the 1993 Parliament of the World's Religions for effective, active, interfaith collaboration on the critical issues of the world. The mission of the Peace Council is to demonstrate that peace is possible, and that effective interreligious collaboration to make peace also is possible. in a world where religion too often is used to justify division, hatred, and violence - and very seldom used to relieve these problems - the Peace Councilors offer an alternative: the example of religious leaders working effectively together to relieve suffering and make the world whole.
