http://charterforcompassion.com/The Charter for Compassion is a collaborative effort to build a peaceful and harmonious global community. Bringing together the voices of people from all religions, the Charter seeks to remind the world that while all faiths are not the same, they all share the core principle of compassion and the Golden Rule. The Charter will change the tenor of the conversation around religion. It will be a clarion call to the world.

The Charter for Compassion will not be a new organization. There are hundreds of existing organizations around the world already working tirelessly in the name of compassion and interfaith dialogue. Our goal is to highlight these groups in effort to raise the profile of their work.
The Charter will show that the voice of negativity and violence so often associated with religion is the minority and that the voice of compassion is the majority. Through the participation of the grassroots, people around the world will expect more out of religious leaders and one another. In doing so, the Charter will shift conceptions of religion for all people.
The Council of Sages, a multi-faith, multi-national group of religious thinkers and leaders, will gather together and sort through all the world's contributions. They will then mold the final version of the Charter for Compassion from those words.
They've listed eight core elements of compassion:
Compassion as empathy not pity.
Compassion as concrete action.
Compassion as a lens for scripture.
Compassion’s role as a spiritual tool and its relation to be
Compassion as fundamental to all faiths.
Compassion as an urgent global need.
Compassion as concern for everybody.
Compassion and the Golden Rule.
Im not sure what to make of this , on the one hand I generally think of religion as a big lie and dont like to see it whitewashed, plus it all sounds a bit pretentious. On the other hand it seems to me that more compassion in the world can only be a good thing.
