Last year I blogged about the Charter for Compassion, the TED prize wish of Karen Armstrong. The aim of the Charter for Compassion was to build a peaceful and congruent world by bringing together the voices of people from all religions and highlight that all faiths share the principle of compassion. An open call was made for people from different faiths to contribute to the charter.
This open call and collaborative effort drew upon thousands of people from over 100 countries in a six week period. Over 150 000 visitors commented on the submissions. The Council of Conscience then sorted through the contributions in order to complete the charter. The charter has been released and can viewed on the Charter for Compassion website.
The website also provides various resources to learn about other faiths and spread the word about the charter. There are various talks on compassion that can be viewed and there are various ways to participate online and offline. Now that the charter has been completed a key element is to spread the word about the charter, so participate by finding different ways to do this on the Charter for Compassion website. A video about the Charter can be viewed below.
