The Charter for Compassion


The Charter for Compassion is a wonderful endeavor being organized by an impressive group of scholars and religious activist. Voices from across the religious spectrum are blending in harmony in an effort to drown out hate and religious bigotry, calling people from all faiths to begin practicing compassion toward their fellowman. This mandate is based upon the idea that most of the world's major religions have some form of the Golden Rule as a guiding principle. The Charter for Compassion calls upon all these faiths to put this principle into action and thereby doing what religion is fundamentally designed to do: that is, make each of us better people and thus, create a better world for ourselves and our posterity.

Be sure to check out this site. Also, there is an opportunity for anyone wanting to participate in the writing of this charter to submit possible charters for review. I encourage everyone to get behind this wonderful venture; support it with your prayers and participation. Please, visit the site today!
