I think having a charter is a step in the right direction of helping religions re-focus on their faith. As Karen Armstrong mentioned, a main problem with religion is that today, their leaders miss the golden rule of “do unto others as you would have done unto you”.
At about 18:40 into the video, Armstrong says something I do not agree with, and I hope it is just a simple oversight
… guidelines as to how to interpret scriptures, Jews and Christians and Muslims working together to create a document which we hope will be signed by a thousand at least of major religious leaders from all the traditions of the world.
What I do not agree in that quote, is that she only mentions Jews, Christians and Muslims creating a charter for essentially the rest of the world.
The idea of a compassionate Charter of Compassion would include all of the world’s religions to create that Charter not exclude them.
I assume it’s a minor oversight in her speech, as Christians, Jews and Muslims are the ones battling it out at the moment.
