The teaching that we should treat others as we ourselves
would wish to be treated, an ethic variously repeated in all the great
religions… sums up the moral attitude, the peace-inducing aspect, extending
through these religions irrespective of their place or time of origin; it also
signifies an aspect of unity which is their essential virtue, a virtue mankind
in its disjointed view of history has failed to appreciate.
