Councils that hold religious authority within four non-Christian traditions: the European Council for Fatwa and Research and the Council of Senior Scholars of Islam, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee of the Sikhs, Jinja Honcho of Shinto shrines and the Universal House of Justice of the Baha'i Faith. An organisation belongs here when its cited article describes an authoritative or administrative council of one of these faiths. It excludes Jewish and Christian bodies.
