Enter the Conversation: Karen Armstrong

 

Please join The Very Rev. Dr. James A. Kowalski as he welcomes Karen Armstrong for a far reaching conversation about religion and ethics in the modern world, and why we must place compassion at the heart of public discourse on religion and morality.

 

Karen Armstrong, author, scholar, and journalist, is among the world's foremost commentators on religious history and culture. She has written more than 20 books on faith and the major religions, studying what Islam, Judaism and Christianity have in common, and how our faiths shaped world history and drive current events. Her books include the bestselling A History of God and The Battle for God, as well as Buddha, Islam: A Short History and most recently Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life. In 2008 Dr. Armstrong spearheaded the founding of The Charter for Compassion, a document that transcends religious, ideological, and national difference. It proclaims a principle embraced by every faith, and by every moral code. To learn more please visit: charterforcompassion.org or Charter for Compassion on Facebook.
