Compassion as a radical 21st Century Movement: What is a compassionate city?

 
I can’t do better than let Karen Armstrong describe compassionate cities and communities in her own emotionally charged words:
“A compassionate city is an uncomfortable city. A city that is uncomfortable when anyone is homeless or hungry. Uncomfortable if every child isn’t loved and given rich opportunities to grow and thrive. Uncomfortable when as a community we don’t treat our neighbors as we would wish to be treated.”
