A charter for compassion?
Karen Armstrong -- winner of the 2008 TED Prize -- is a provocative, original thinker on the role of religion in the modern world. In this TED, she professes that the essence of every organized religion is compassion. With the Charter for Compassion, Karen Armstrong challenged the world to bring the Golden Rule to the center of life. As this TED shows, compassion does not need to be connected to religion, it is connected to our humanity.
Learn about how her vision inspired Greg Fischer -- the mayor of Louisville, Kentucky -- to lead the city in fascinating new directions.
