The Charter for Compassion will be unveiled to the world on November 12, 2009.
In late 2008, people of all nations, all faiths, all backgrounds, submitted their words to the Charter. In early 2009, the Council of Conscience sorted through and discussed the world's contributions to determine the final version of the Charter. The Charter is now complete.
The Charter does NOT assume:
* all religions are the same
* compassion is the only thing that matters in religion
* religious people have a monopoly on compassionThe Charter DOES affirm that:
* compassion is celebrated in all major religious, spiritual and ethical traditions
* the Golden Rule is our prime duty and cannot be limited to our own political, religious or ethnic group
* therefore, in our divided world, compassion can build common ground
