WE CONTINUE REFLECTING on the value of these three perspectives in our quest for inclusive justice?

1. The Christian Council for Monetary Justice [CCMJ] – examining enduring wisdom and contemporary evidence about money and its effect on society – utilising resources of the enduring wisdom like current evidence, scriptures, histories, valued publications http://www.ccmj.org

2. London Global Open Table[LGOT] – providing an open forum for serving a wider network with a point of weekly reference. All are welcome to send items for ‘Matters in the Air’ to indicate where our dialogue and action might take in this particular week:  http://www.globaltable.org.uk/wp

3. The 2015Constitutionalists – advancing a targeted initiative by ‘principled pragmatism’ to take viable, if difficult, steps towards weaving politics and economics – governance and vital trading – into a Peoples Political Economy of Trusteeship, set in Harmony with Nature.  NEWSCASTS each Monday on http://www.2015Constitutionalists.uk alternate between understanding systemic change and reporting on issues that must find hard-coding for their inclusive contribution to the whole system. TheNewscast appears on the Home page on Mondays and is then also on Youtube.

The 2015 Constitutionalists Charter is an incremental, imperfect process of evolving a People’s Political Economy of Inter-Generational Trusteeship in Harmony with Nature. See the Introduction to the Project, which is subject to ongoing amendment.  See also the latest draft of the 2015C Compendium of Constitutionalists thinking and Glossary of words and their usage: http://www.2015constitutionalists.uk/resources/compendium/ – please respond with suggestions to improve this..

Inevitably there is overlap between each mode of approach.  Each and all add richness to our searching.

‘REALITY IS NI’  Reality is Natural Inclusiveness, in all bit parts, ubiquitous energy, creative dialogue suffusing the cosmos.  Some nutshell it so simply in love of both God and Neighbour; one God and every neighbour to be sure.  So not so simple after all, so a big question hangs over us in that tough and honorable pursuit.  Do you stone the devil while on retreat, or love your enemies on every street,the one too easy, the other so, so hard?
