Golden Rule Speech - PDF
Bonnie Phillips, of the Phillips Gallery, and originator of the Golden Rule Project, wrote this speech on the occasion of the 2007 UAEA Conference in St. George, which was focused on the Golden Rule, which has emerged in every culture and religious faith, as well as throughout all time periods of our planet Earth’s known history.

Golden Rule Project
The Golden Rule Project of the Manners/Golden Rule Foundation was begun in November 2003. The initial aim of the project was to place the Golden Rule in middle schools and high schools in the local community in a manner that would attract the attention of the students and encourage consideration of the Golden Rule. As a result, a Golden Rule document was created as a work of art. It consists of sixteen golden rule formulations taken from different cultures, philosophies and teachings placed on a two-page, framed diptych. Each page measures 21" x 13" (Golden Mean proportions) and was hand-printed on letterpress by Marnie Powers-Torrey and Jennifer Sorensen of the University of Utah Book Arts Program on hand-marbled Rives BFK paper. In addition, various local artists in the community contributed their time and talents to illuminate these diptychs to create unique works of art for each recipient school.
