Born of our deep interdependence, compassion is essential to human re-lationships and to a fulfilled humanity. It is the path to enlightenment, and indispensible to the creation of a just economy and a peaceful global community. ----Charter for Compassion Nov 12, 2009 marks the anniversary of the launching of The Charter for Compassion, the product of religious scholar Karen Armstrong’s (Ware Lecturer, 2011 General Assembly of the UUA) TED Prize Wish that the world’s religions would come together to craft a document affirming the best aspects of their traditions. It’s been 10 years, has there been any success in their effort to create a more compassionate world? What is the future of compassion in our world, and how might we contribute to its spread?

Speaker: Rev. Sally Beth Shore
