[Ailist] If you had one wish...

RE: Karen Armstrong's wish

Karen Armstrong's one wish, which she is seriously in action towards
fulfilling, is "I wish that you would help with the creation, launch and
propagation of a Charter for Compassion, crafted by a group of leading
inspirational thinkers from the three Abrahamic traditions of Judaism,
Christianity and Islam and based on the fundamental principles of universal
justice and respect."

This is the Wish she made as a TED Prize Winner in 2008, and you can see
much more about it - including viewing her talk, and updates since last
year, at http://www.tedprize.org/karen-armstrong/
