World Religions Collaborative
Uniting the World’s Faith Traditions Around Sacred-Centered Ethics for Human and Planetary Flourishing
At a time of growing global division, the Fetzer Institute’s World Religions Coalition brings together faith leaders, scholars, and institutions to co-build a vision of shared sacred flourishing — one grounded in the moral wisdom, ethical assets, and spiritual depth of the world’s religious traditions.
Eighty five percent of humanity identifies with a sacred tradition. For billions of people, the truth of the Sacred is inseparable from the truths of personhood, society, and the cosmos. Yet too often, public discourse — and even inter-religious cooperation — defaults to secular frameworks, sidelining the spiritual foundations that animates the world’s faiths.
Together, members of this coalition are advancing a sacred-based ethical approach to global collaboration: one that embraces love, compassion, mercy, and sacred dignity as primary moral assets. This approach welcomes diverse spiritual lineages while fostering mutual respect, openness to science, and a collective commitment to the common good.
This is not a call for uniformity, but for unity: a collaborative ethic that honors difference while affirming our shared responsibility to care for one another and the Earth.
Rooted in relationships across traditions and supported by a growing global network through Religions for Peace — the World Religions Coalition cultivates a non-syncretic, sacred-centered worldview; one that is spacious enough to honor pluralism and powerful enough to transform lives and systems.
