Thanks Roselle! I plan to attend the final meeting on Wednesday!

For those who attended (or would like to attend) the Seattle East West Bookshop Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life discussion, we'll be discussing the Twelfth Step: Love Your Enemies this Wednesday, February 15th from 7 - 8:30 p.m. at East West Bookshop in the Tea Garden. Further details are available here.

I look forward to our discussion.

Given the weather prediction for tomorrow (and taking the lead from Seattle schools which will be closed), our Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life reading group tomorrow, Wednesday, 1/18, is cancelled. I'll check with East West Bookshop about rescheduling our final meeting.

To those planning to attend the Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life reading group at East West Bookshop in Seattle tomorrow (January 18th): In the interest of everyone's safety, if schools are closed in Seattle tomorrow due to snow and ice, I feel we should follow their lead and cancel the group. I'll listen for the forecast tomorrow and post a note about the status of the meeting then.

For those of you in Seattle, we'll be discussing the final(!) twelfth step, "Love Your Enemies" at East West Bookshop next Wednesday, January 18th from 7-8:30 p.m. I'll be substituting for Rev. Cheen as the facilitator. I've posted details on an events page. Whether you've joined us before or this will be your first time, we'd love to have you join us.

Thanks Andy. Yes, Karen Armstrong is remarkable. She won the 2008 TED Prize for her wish to create a Charter for Compassion that will help restore the Golden Rule to the center of religious, moral and civic life. For more info on the Charter, see two quick videos from TED:

• A 2+ minute Introduction to Charter for Compassion that's narrated by actor Rainn Wilson from The Office
• A 2+ minute video of people reciting the actual Charter text.

Karen's book "Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life" book is the action oriented response to the Charter. The paperback version comes out in the U.S. and Canada at the end of this month. I'm going to propose that this group become the official online reading group in January 2012 because Facebook removed their online Discussion feature. It will need to be self-moderated though because we have a small team.

Thanks for your interest in Karen Armstrong and the Twelve Steps book!

Kind Regards,
PamKM

Cheen will be facilitating our discussion of Step 11: Recognition (can't believe we're nearing the end!). She posted details on an event page. Whether you've joined us before or this will be your first time, we'd love to have you.

I know I'm guilty of turning this into a blog, but I thought this link maybe of interest

Thankyou Roselle, Pam and Skye for your contributions here and in compiling the guide.

To confirm this thread is only for faciltating book groups not for discussing the book.

Pam, I was previously advised that answer would not be provided to my questions and that a more private forum was required.(clearly no forum exists to discuss the book on-line)

I have decided to follow the The Reading Group Guide for myself as a group of one until a person chooses to assist me.
