As well as items on that general list on the site above, we will ensure we attend this Wednesday to these five items at least:

1. ‘OCCUPY’ – implications related to the NY and PURTON DECLARATIONs and the RUNNYMEDE GAZETTE. See also note to BBC below:

2. St Paul’s Institute new report and new image [http://www.stpaulsinstitute.org.uk]

3. Ten days of seminars led by James Quilligan May 8-18 2012

Footnote to BBC: These are the notes I said I’d send to indicate how from the principle of ending exploitation, and especially its financial form of ‘usury’ on money bearing compound interest issued by commercial banks, and the passing of location value to rentiers rather than to the community that created it, certain basic aspects of restructuring in the financial system are required.

As the churches and all people of good faith reassess their contribution to public truth these suggestions should be seriously studied by intra-discipinary bodies:

Principle: Good faith in any tradition must be universal – that is, serving justly people and the planet.
To develop that principle, some major systemic changes are needed, urgently:
– Return to publicly created money – end issuance of new money bearing interest by commercial banks [Money Reform]
– Return location value created by the community to the community – not to rentiers
[Coalition for Economic Justice]
– Introduce a new form of material wealth’s inclusive distribution – so that consumers and producers are the same people [BE – Quilligan]
– Respond to the mantra that ‘the first call on a nation’s wealth should be a basic income for all citizens.’ [UBI]
– Rescind laws creating ‘corporate personhood’ and the primacy of returns to directors and shareholders
– Educate people to understand that Commons are more fundamental than commodities

[Quilligan]
– Renew the priority of investing before all else in human capital [ COMER]
– Democratise the Corporation of the City of London [Monbiot]}
Behind these brief indicators serious studies and proposals are available for intra-disciplinary appraisal.
