The Inter-Religious Council of Kenya (IRCK) is a coalition of all major faith communities in Kenya that work together to deepen inter-faith dialogue and collaboration among members for a common endeavor to mobilize the unique moral and social resources of religious people and address shared concerns.
The major faith communities in Kenya that constitute IRC-K are the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB), the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK), the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya (EAK), the Organization of African Instituted Churches (OAIC), the Seventh Day Adventist Church (SDA), the Supreme Council of Kenyan Muslims (SUPKEM), the National Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF), the Shia Ithnasharia Muslim Association and the Hindu Council of Kenya (HCK). Each of these religious coordinating agencies has a national coverage with structures that ensure reach at the grassroots level. Additionally, IRC-K has formed local inter-faith networks to act as platforms for local advocacy and action in the counties.
