Chuck Colson is the icon of compassion. He's devoted his life to the good of others and is a model for all who wish to be compassionate, kind and gentle to other. Thank you Mr. Colson for you love and what you have done for others.

Christ said the two great commandments are “Love your neighbor as you love yourself, and as Christ loves you,” and “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Augustine writes, “Lord you made us out of your love for us. Our hearts are restless, until we rest in thee.” The end of human life is to be in God and God in us.

God made us out of His love for us and He made man to His own image and likeness. He made man to love the Good. That is why the greatest love we can have on earth is to love one another because we are made in the image of God.

Jesus said that there is no greater love for another than one who lays down his life for another. God so love man that He gave His Son up so that man may be saved from eternal darkness and death.

Moreover, before Jesus ascended into heaven, He gave us the Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes that directed man to love one another and the rewards that await you for doing so.

In addition, God gave man the Ten Commandments that from the fourth to the tenth, they command man to be charitable to his neighbor by loving thy father and mother, not to lie, murder, commit adultery, or covet thy neighbor’s wife or his goods.

Simon says.... Ready, set, notit!

Just kidding.

Really.

Go to it, Chuck.

As soon as I read about Ms Armstong's plan for formulating a charter of compassion, I was reminded instantly of the work of Professor Hans Kueng at the Global Ethic Foundation and its comprehensive document accepted at the World Parliament of Religions: Declaration Toward a Global Ethic. (Aside: I had mentioned that document and posted a link to it on this forum over 18 months ago when an atheist blogger, with the username, Acrapist, and I managed to finally agree - it goes without saying we disagreed on every other point all the time - even though God is taken for a completely dispensable entity by all atheists, ethics is not. Since 6 billion people with 6 billion + 1 different ideas of right and wrong cannot not build any kind of international society, there was a need for global ethics in an ever more interdependent world.)

Although the comprehensive document was accepted the World Parliament of Religions fifteen years ago, it would seem that its existence is little known. In my personal opinion there is an urgent need to disseminate that comprehensive document, which has covered every aspect of ethics based on all religions and has been accepted unanimously at the World Parliament, through the United Nations, to all the religious and secular authorities in all member countries. The religious groups and religious leaders reading this forum could do their part in spreading the good word to their own religious communities.

A new Charter on Compassion should cover new ground, areas that have not been yet covered by the document that already exists, without repeating what has been already accepted by an international body, The World Parliament of Religions.

Our mission is to provide sustainable housing for people who need social and at times medical attention. San Luis Obispo County is in dire need of such a facility, I have been trying to enroll my sister who is now 54 in a special needs program, no room available. My job as a therapist has given me the opportunity to hear the same stories , many are regarding senior housing for their parents which is in high demand and have long waiting lists or special needs children whose parents are buckled with the pressure of not being able to work to care for their parents or children. Demographic trends have economic and non-economic impacts. The composition of businesses also will change. The retail and service sectors catering to the over-50 population will grow, however. The idea of the Lamb Cottage has been a driving force for me since I was a child.

.......We critically need funds to launch this sorely needed assisted living program, fund the building construction, and the resources of two certified nursing assistants to oversee and assist the residents if needed. These support resources will constructively assist the left out aging population, to be served by our new community service program.

We will gladly accept donations from anyone who wants to help change the world. The Lamb Cottage isn't currently set up as a charitable non-profit organization, but if you want to throw some money this way, we can always find a way to make it work. In the future The Lamb Cottage would like to acquire a local ranch to develop our housing project. If you would like to support our efforts with a donation, please contact us Thanks!

Undaunted, The Lamb Cottage is an organization committed to excellence, with a clear vision and a passion for delivering outstanding results. We ask you to work with us to capitalize on our growth and these strengths.

Finally I note, again, the community's most significant challenge will be providing acceptable living conditions for our aging population. The community depends on these people. These consequences will include at least some declining neighborhoods, increased crime, changing socio-economic conditions of students, and increased demand for government services. Making a difference in our community by creating a housing plan for sustainable living that would address this need is our goal. Please visit our web site for details lambcottage.com. Thank you
