Unity at last!

Just occasionally, religion actually appears to do something good.  Jews, Muslims and Christians have got together to draft a charter they can all sign, based on the golden rule (treat others as you would have them treat you).  This is an online global campaign, and not limited to these three religions – even atheists and agnostics are invited to participate too.  The Age has covered the story here and the charter website is here.

Cynical question: How long do you reckon it will be before fundamentalists come out against it, saying that it doesn’t cover the basics of their faith?

    I knew they would! See Catch the Fire Ministries saying “bringing all religions together in this way undermines the central truth of Christianity – where Jesus said ‘I am the way the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me” (John 14:6)”

    But it’s amazing how most of the mainstream conservative denominations have magnificently ignored the whole issue :-)
