Sometimes it seems that common ground is no longer possible, but there is more of it than we realize. The wisdom of The Golden Rule is found is almost every tradition and has been for as far back as we have recorded history. For the next few weeks, I’ll share a verse or two for us to ponder. Today we begin with the foundation of the western tradition, which comes from two Gospel writers:
“Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Luke 6:31)
“In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 7: 12)
