Danny Wallace and his Karma Army
So there's this guy who lives in London called
Danny Wallace who placed a free classified ad in Loot asking
'Join Me' and asking whoever would join to send him a passport photo (to prove they were serious).
4000 replies later and people are looking to him as a leader and asking what he wants them to do - so rather than tell them that there was no point he decided to declare that they should carry out 'Random Acts of Kindness' every Friday.
And so a non-religious, non-political Karma Army (non-cult) was born and encourages people to commit random acts of kindness.
There are now two books:
Join Me and
Random Acts Of Kindess, a Join Me
film, and a US/UK
tour.
And we thought religion was over.
