A wish comes true. Charter for Compassion unveiled to the world

[BR_Parkway]

Dear Global TED Community,

Today, TED Prize winner Karen Armstrong's wish is realized as the Charter for Compassion officially launches...

http://charterforcompassion.org/

This is a document created by thousands of people around the world. It is capable of enabling a new dialog between the major religions and between religious and nonreligious people.

Please take out two minutes to read it. It's just one page. If it speaks to you, please add your name.

Karen's wish was that TED should create and propagate the Charter. That's where we need your help. Email your friends, and do whatever you can on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc. We would love to see thousands affirm the Charter. It's truly an idea worth spreading.

Consider hosting your own compassion event. Or urge any religious leader you know to preach compassion this weekend.

An exciting day for us here at TED.

HUGE thanks to all who have worked to make this happen.


Our best,

Amy Novogratz
TED Prize Director

if we are to survive as a species, IMO. Thanks for posting this up here.
