global spiritual summit????

[David Dalton]

I believe that there should soon be a global spiritual
summit which would develop a standard that all religions
would have to meet and that standard would include
tolerance of other religions that meet the standard.
I think most religions already meet such a standard
on paper but don't always live up to that.

Obviously large religions and large denominations would
have representation at this summit but what about small
religions? I think there should be umbrella councils
consisting of representatives of small religions and
then the umbrella council could send a representative
(not leader, representative) to the main summit. for
example there could be a pagan/neopagan umbrella
council and a traditional native spirituality umbrella
council. Atheists should also have representation.

Also I think the main summit should interact with
and perhaps be sponsored by the UN and maybe a
UN representative could chair the summit. Also
the standard mentioned above should include the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml .
It should also include a ban on war.

Good night,
David

How about a standard that would include preaching only things that
could be objectively demonstrated? IOW, no false or misleading
advertising.
