MATTERS IN THE AIR: 10th August – now without a focus in a weekly location – watch this space – that we might renew the sense of inclusiveness which was slipping a little. This week’s ‘MATTERS IN THE AIR’ on issues raised in our network. Please make your comments or raise questions on any of these. We are trying to sense the richness of our networking without overburdening with detail. We collaborate that action may flow in both, specified targetted initiatives AND in acknowledgement of our shared commitment to a common purpose.

Prem Sikka- There is an intense debate in the UK about the direction of politics and Prem Sikka has a commentary on it with the title “Corbynomics offers hope of a New Deal for low-paid workers”. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/aug/03/corbynomics-new-deal-low-paid-workers-labour-leader
LAND AND LIBERTY – Spring 2016 – http://www.landandliberty.net – carries fine articles affirming our fundamental emphasis that total system change has to be an aspect of the change we seek. Please recommend it to others.
We speak of ‘non-violence’ and being ‘non-partisan’ in a new political-economy that reflects governance and trading in the context of our trusteeship of the planet! Here is a significant article on a concerted effort to face that immense challenge. “Is Violence Against Oppression Legitimate? http://www.tikkun.org/nextgen/is-violence-justified-to-resist-racist-oppression

WEEK BY WEEK REFLECTION CONTINUES IN OPEN ‘COUNCIL’ on the value of three perspectives in our quest for inclusive justice. Inevitably there is overlap between each mode of approach. Each and all add richness to our searching and encouragement in collaboration:
1. The Christian Council for Monetary Justice [CCMJ] – is a wide-ranging association of people examining enduring wisdom and contemporary evidence about money and its effect on society – utilising resources of wisdom from current evidence, scriptures, histories and evaluated publications to identify the deeper structural faults behind land [rent], money, lack of basic elements of very person’s inheritance of livelihood, and the over-powering by close boundaries with rigid and permanent hierarchies. It is not a membership organisation but an open association of explorers learning by collaboration and by shared evolving insights and possible actions. We long for more online reports, comments, questions etc. We dare to probe possible contemporary interpretations of the concept of the ‘Kin[g]dom of God; contributing to and learning from the specific formation of a political process, such as is being steadily evolved in ICUK described below http://www.ccmj.org
2. The Global Open Table [GOT] – provides an open online forum for serving an even wider network of people of good faith with a weekly focus for mutual support and encouragement. All are welcome to send items for ‘Matters in the Air’ to indicate where our exchanged information and evolving action might take us week by week. We seek to develop an encouraging sense of the scale and influence of our network when collaboration grows: http://www.globaltable.org.uk/wp.
3. Trustees All: The Independent Constitutionalists UK – advocate and advance a targeted initiative by ‘principled-pragmatism’ to take viable, if difficult, steps towards weaving politics and economics – governance and vital trading – into a People’s Political-Economy of Trusteeship in the Harmony of Nature. We seek to travel a new path via the next General Election. The ICUK’s Manifesto and Charter provide an incremental, evolving process of defining and implementing a People’s Political-Economy of Trusteeship in the Harmony of Nature exploring a pattern of a Confederation of the British Isles with genuine subsidiarity for the UK: http://ww.constitutionalists.uk
