Karen Armstrong on Bill Moyers.

Moyers says,

“BILL MOYERS: While working on a film in Jerusalem, the ancient city where Islam, Judaism and Christianity converge, the connections among that trio of faiths rekindled Armstrong’s imagination and led to another new career.

She became one of the foremost, and most original, thinkers on religion in our modern world. Her many popular books include studies of Muhammad and Islam, the crusades, the ambitiously titled A HISTORY OF GOD and her latest, THE BIBLE.

A self-proclaimed “freelance monotheist,” Karen Armstrong is now on a mission to bring compassion, the heart of religion, as she sees it, back into modern life. ‘

Here is the webpage for the Charter of Compassion.
