Luke 6 and Compassion
Posted on Monday, November 9th, 2009 at 2:33 pmGiven our conversations on Luke 6 this week, with its pointed emphasis on love and compassion, it is one of those “beautiful coincidences” that November 12 marks the unveiling of The Charter for Compassion – a document created by representatives from each of the major world religions calling all people of faith to move compassion back into the center of their faith and practice. Each of these religions emphasize some version of the Golden Rule (“do unto others as you would have them do unto you”). The call, initiated by Karen Armstrong, is meant to reclaim that principle as a world-wide act for the common good.
