For religion historian and author Karen Armstrong, faith isn't just believing; it's doing. Religious doctrines "make no sense unless they're acted upon," she told the 520-plus people who attended her June 23 talk at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Morristown.
And what she's particularly calling people of faith to act upon is something that she says the doctrines of all the major faiths call us to: compassion for others. "Compassion is seen as the test of faith."
