Interfaith Dialogue Council
The Interfaith Dialogue Council (Alexandrian: Conseil du Dialogue Interconfessionnel, Martino: Consejo de Diálogo Interreligioso) is an interfaith organization in Nouvelle Alexandrie dedicated to promoting understanding, cooperation, and peaceful coexistence among the nation's diverse religious communities. Founded in 1697 AN, the Council brings together representatives from the major faith traditions recognized under the Proclamation of Punta Santiago, including the Church of Alexandria, Melusinian Faith, Faith of Inti, Zurvanism, as well as smaller religious communities such as the Temple of the Lakes, Patriarchal Orthodox Faith, and new religious movements such as the Société du Témoin Perpétuel. The organization is headquartered in Cárdenas and maintains regional offices in Punta Santiago, Parap, and Chambéry.
As of 1750 AN, the Council comprises 42 member organizations representing approximately 94% of the Federation's religiously affiliated population. The current Secretary-General is Archbishop Emeritus Benoît Lacombe, who has served in the position since 1745 AN. In 1759 AN a separate Colloquy of the Faiths of the Federation, held at Cárdenas, seated the Faith of Inti and the Melusinian Faith alongside the Wakara Yukiyu Atabey and the Bovic Church, two traditions the Council's own roster did not then carry.[1] On 15.III.1761 AN the Council's member organizations voted without dissent to admit the Council of Bohiques, the governing body of Yukiyu Atabey.[2]
