- The Global Oneness Commitment is an eight-year project with the goal of “uniting people around the globe to mutual actions in order to not only save what we have, but to transform the planet thru an increase in spiritual awareness.”
- An article in the New York Times describes the fading religion of the Zoroastrians, who follow the Prophet Zarathustra. After more than 3,000 years, one of the most important monotheistic religions is going to become extinct. The NY Times links the fading of this faith to their belief that being good is just about enough. As they traveled the world, their attitude and hard work rewarded them with success and the ability to mix with other cultures. As a result, they were successful as a people but a failure as a long-term growing religion.
- An article in the Jakarta Post questions how far religion assumes a role in the elimination of corruption.
- In my online research I found a petition that calls for a world “not divided by religion, where human destiny is shaped by its deeds and not by its creeds.” Interestingly enough, there were about 260 signatures on it.
