London Global Table: 3rd Sept 2014

Special agenda dedicated to the monthly first Wednesday’s 2015 Election Forum.
We’ll work to a set agenda and concentrate on the collaborative task of seeing what we can do and learn in the months running up to the May General Election.

If your interest has been aroused in this potent initiative [fool-hardy as it may be!] and you wish to know more, ask me for a one-to-one briefing – since its history, potency and current stage of evolution and organic growth need careful explanation in relation to your specific context and opportunities.
I’d love to be flooded by such requests from curious associates! Any response would include, in strict confidence,
– tomorrow’s agenda, and a report on its and you wish to know more outcomes
– the already trade-marked Charter we are finalising,
– the Constitution for the phantom Party we have registered,
Are you intrigued????

Dear Associates of the open CCMJ,
In the preface to Peter Selby’s new book, ‘An Idol Unmasked – a Faith Perspective on Money’ [DLT 2014] there is this reference to CCMJ…
“ There have been small, often brilliant, always admirably persistent, organisations making the point that money is behind most issues of justice and sustainability. Top of the league among my acquaintance – which is not to say anything negative about others whom I may not know – is the Christian Council for Monetary Justice (http://ccmj.org.uk/wp); their gathering together of literature, argument and friends in solidarity has been exceptional, particularly since they carry on with this even when neither corporate life nor academy nor church pays them anywhere near the attention they deserve.“
This might perchance trigger enquiries.

In order to respond to such an eventuality, I’ve revisited the leaflet and the Hudson article attached that might be offered as a response – given any judgement on what is relevant to the context of any particular enquiry.
Perhaps you would consider their use in the opportunities found in your own situation. You may also have comments on your own success in widening the challenge. I would also be glad of any reports of present opportunity and activity in your own setting.

There remains a huge task before us to rectify the observation to me made by Prof J. Moltmann in 2002, ‘The neglect of Economics is a wound in the side of the church’

Yours in the quest for the lost understanding of the steward’s task of inter-generational replenishment of well-being,
Peter
