The petition
It is essential that we find a way to live together in peace; in mutual respect of one another; to live and believe as we freely choose.
Creating a tolerant, pluralistic society is a critical step for harmonious human growth.
In order to preserve the world and its resources, we must find a way to create a sustainable, prosperous economy, even as we protect the environment and the ecology of the world we live in.
There is such a way; a pluralistic solution with a universal starting point exists. It is often called the Golden Rule or the Ethic of Reciprocity.
The principle of treating each other and the world with mutual respect and dignity is the foundation of all moral codes, religious or secular.
Applying this universal principle can provide an enabling mechanism for the dialogue and development essential to resolving the challenges we face globally, nationally, and locally.
Therefore, we call on the religious, political, and economic leaders of the world to draft and adopt resolutions for the implementation of the principle embodied in the Golden Rule; such resolutions to inform and guide the formation of political, social, economic and environmental policies within their spheres of influence.
