Karen Armstrong’s inspirational talk about the proposed charter for Compassion is the most powerfully moving incentive to practice true religion that is moral and active. She is a moving force in our world and my hope is that she will reach a large percentage of people who will then practice the golden rule as the topmost expression of our spiritual nature. Thanks for promoting this great speaker and her great motivation.
