London Global Table  23rd Oct. 2013

  ‘MATTERS IN THE AIR’

We seek ways to communicate the significance of
–  Land: [location benefit returned to the community that produced the surplus value measured as rent]
–  Money: returned to being a public utility, rather than merely a source of private banking acquisition; and
– A basic means of livelihood for all  – [a universal basic income.]
……..some of which the day’s participants could choose to develop…..

c] Churches challenged over money and ethics – anyone who can report on this???

With church investments in the national spotlight, a website launched today (17 October) provided church groups and individual believers with a host of new resources to make ethical and spiritual decisions about their use of money.The site was launched at an Ecumenical Council for Corporate Responsibility (ECCR) debate on church investment. It has been developed jointly by ECCR and Quaker Peace & Social Witness (QPSW). They aim to meet the growing demand from faith groups for help with the complex ethical and practical questions around the use of money.
