BRATTLEBORO AREA INTERFAITH INITIATIVE INVITES YOU TO JOIN THE COMPASSIONATE CITIES CAMPAIGN
The Brattleboro Area Interfaith Initiative is reaching out to invite you to become part of a broad spectrum of individuals and organizations to participate in a movement called the Charter for Compassion, to make Brattleboro a “Compassionate City,” Created by Karen Armstrong in 2008, it has been building partnership networks around the world. The Charter for Compassion calls all to work to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to honor the sanctity of every single human being, and to treat all with justice, equity and respect. There are116 Compassionate Cities in the USA including smaller cities in our area: Fitchburg, MA and Leominster, MA. Seattle, Washington was the first city to sign the Charter.
We are inviting you to come to a meeting to see if we can begin a process that would lift us to a higher level of unity with each other. Our first meeting will be at noon on Wednesday June 25th at the Rivergarden, we hope you will join us. It is an idea that can bring us all together.
We suggest you visit the website www.charterforcompassion.org and read the Charter. If you are unable to attend the meeting and would like to stay in touch with what we are doing, please contact rupa@together.net at the Brattleboro Area Interfaith Initiative and we will keep you informed.
