Global Compassion Fellowship is a global community that utilizes the teachings and wisdom from a variety of religious and spiritual traditions but is also dedicated to the search for meaning and values for individuals on this earth through reliance on intelligence, the scientific method, embracing the value of a social safety net in society and compassion and empathy with all sentient beings. Global Compassion Fellowship contends that human beings are a part of nature, that they have emerged as a result of continuous evolutionary process, and that all their values — religious, ethical, political, and social — have their sources in nurturing, caring and concern that has evolved over millions of years of evolution.
