Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Reliability tier 3: a continuously community-edited tertiary reference with no formal peer review process, suitable for citable, checkable factual claims but not treated as authoritative on genuinely contested points.
Notes
Tertiary reference, cross-checked against the KAICIID retrospective essay on the 1936 congress and the Religion Online archive of "A Wider Vision: A History of the World Congress of Faiths, 1936-1996," both of which corroborate the founding date and founder.
