Golden Rule Radical

Posted By David on May 7, 2009

     It seems to me that the world’s religions are like siblings separated at birth. We’ve grown up in different neighbourhoods, different households, with different songs, stories, traditions and customs. But now we’ve been reunited, and, having found each other after so many years apart, we look into each other’s faces and can see the family resemblance. We’re back together again, and it’s very good     Richard Watts, Presbyterian minister

 While Rev. Watts’ optimism may be a little premature, the idea that the world’s religions are actively searching for common ground and methods of fostering harmony is encouraging.

The Principle of Mutuality that underlies the Golden Rule fuels this kind of dialogue and offers a point of contact for the most diverse of philosophies.
