Sunday Service: Charter for Compassion
This week’s Sunday Service opportunity is not a charity or community organization that needs your support. Today I am helping to share the Charter for Compassion; a way of being, based on the Golden Rule.
I truly believe if this Charter were adopted worldwide, there would be no need for future Sunday Service posts.
Imagine if everyone in the world agreed to live by the principal of compassion. All religions. All governments. All nations. All organizations. All tribes. All families. All people.
Karen Armstrong had this dream. After winning the TED Prize in February 2008, she shared her wish of creating a charter for compassion, based on the universal Golden Rule, also known as the Ethic of Reciprocity: “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”
If you are a regular reader, you know that a couple years ago during a leadership exercise, I declared myself to be the possibility of peace through a compasssionate heart. The charter is another tool for me, providing a roadmap to support that personal declaration. If I go off course, the charter can help put me back on the road I want to travel.
I encourage you to follow the link below, read the Charter, affirm its message and then go forward and live in compassion. Join the Dalai Lama, Queen Noor, Desmond Tutu, Paul Simon, Deepak Chopra, Goldie Hawn, El Biddulph (that’s me) and the 11420 other people from around the world who have affirmed the Charter in just its first two days.
