5th WORLD CONGRESS ON

LOGIC AND RELIGION

Vancouver, Canada
September 23-27, 2026

The 2026 World Congress on Logic and Religion (5th WoCoLoR) will be held in Vancouver, Canada, from September 23 to 27, 2026.

 

We invite papers in core areas such as logic and philosophy of religion, formal logic and theological reasoning, epistemology of belief and faith, metaphysics and religious thought, and the logic of religious language and symbolism. We also encourage submissions that engage with contemporary and interdisciplinary questions, including the intersections of artificial intelligence, religion, and epistemic coherence; the logic of economic behavior, profit, and faith; ethics, business, and religious frameworks; media and communication in relation to religion; and the role of religion in digital and technological contexts. 

 

In addition, we seek to promote diverse cultural and critical perspectives. Relevant topics include Indigenous structures of thought and religion, comparative religion and systems of belief, religious dialogue and pluralism, women and gender in religion, and the relationships between psychoanalysis, symbolic systems, and religious experience.
