Is there a religious movement that considers Kahlil Gibran a prophet and his works scripture?

I find his writings to be very inspiring.

Ajah Dharma is small but was greatly influenced by Kahlil Gibran's works, and in Ajah is considered a Saint.

Not that I know of.

I like Gibran's work, but I don't see anything really outstanding there. I think most people just consider him to be a good writer at best. Shakespeare and Homer were good poets too, but nobody calls them Prophets.

There is however a religious movement in Vietnam, Cao Dai, which considers Victor Hugo a prophet.

Scripture.. Not that I am aware of; however people look to his works for inspiration and guidance in a sense. In this manner, though they don't give him any special position with the divine, they still celebrate him, and his works as superb, not only as a literary piece, but also as a religious exposition.
