The Commonwealth Religions Congress (commonly Commonwealth Religions) is an interfaith congress of thirteen tradition groups, partly funded by the Bureau of Religion of the Parliament of Bread and Roses. It sits quarterly at Kairi, and has no doctrinal authority over its members.
The Commonwealth has no official religion, but recognises and has protections for traditional and folk religions. Recognised traditional faiths include folk Oslolan spiritualism, Kalina local faiths and the Catholic, Apostolic and Roman religions, and most of them sit in the congress. Smaller traditions may apply for affiliate membership. The Atlantic Jewish Assembly is also a member, and the oldest of its congregations is in Curacao, home of the first Jews in the Western Hemisphere.
