GOD AND THE GOOD LIFE: THE AUDIT
This will be the first of three interrogations that specify the terms 
of the economic covenant with God that would create the Good life on 
Earth.  We remember that the Judeo-Christian covenant gave rise to 
the three Abrahamic religions.  The speakers will explore the 
relevance of a theology of covenant in today's contemporary economic 
and spiritual context. The aim of the day conferences is to inspire 
and enable participants to understand and affirm the need for united 
action concerning social, economic and structural change.
Planned speakers include Alastar McIntosh (Author of 'Soil and 
Soul'), Canon Peter Challen (Christian Council for Monetary Justice) 
and Fred Harrison (Author of the Traumatised Society).
This event is being held as partnershoip between the Moot Community 
at the Guild Church of St Mary Aldermary, the Christian Council for 
Monetary Justice and the Land Research Trust.

GREAT AWAKENINGS : THE APPLICATION
The aim of the day conferences is to inspire and enable participants 
to understand and affirm the need for united action concerning 
social, economic justice and structural change.  The theology of the 
Covenant will be examined in the context of the global crises of the 
21st century.
In past times, periods of deep despair were transformed when people 
awoke their consciences and implemented major social reforms. These 
episodes were preceded by spiritual awakenings that fortified them 
against powerful opponents. This history will be examined, to 
consider the need for a new Great Awakening if mankind is to 
effectively address the challenges of the 21st century. Speakers will 
explain how they applied their beliefs in their fieldwork in both the 
developed and developing world.
Speakers are to be announced, including Timothy Stacey, (Christian 
Socialist Movement) Canon Peter Challen (Christian Council for 
Monetary Justice), Fred Harrison (author of The Traumatised Society), 
Christiana Fatoki (Visionnaire Consulting), Tarek El Diwany (author 
The Problem with Interest), Christian Aid representative
This event is being held as partnership between Christ Church, North 
Southwark, the Christian Council for Monetary Justice and the Land 
Research Trust.

HOLY LAND: THE AFFIRMATION
The aim is to inspire and enable participants to understand and 
affirm the need for united action concerning economic justice and 
structural change. This conference explores how the Covenant with God 
can solve the dispute in the Holy Land
The three Abrahamic faiths subscribe to the belief that land was the 
Gift of God. As such, its possession and use is bound by a code of 
conduct that ought to disallow blood-shedding contests over the 
rights of access to land. This conference considers how the terms of 
the Covenant may be applied today to enable the peoples of the Holy 
Land to negotiate a settlement that would enable everyone to live in 
peace as neighbours.
Can the Judeo-Christian and Islamic faiths unite behind a renewed bid 
to end the tragedy of the Holy Land in terms that leads to the 
building of a new Jerusalem? What are the issues facing the 
evangelical movements that challenge the established churches?
Speakers include Prof. Marcia Pally (author of The New Evangelicals: 
Expanding the Vision of the Common Good), Canon Peter Challen 
(Christian Council for Monetary Justice), Fred Harrison (author of 
The Traumatised Society), Barrister Ian Mason, (School of Economic 
Science).
This event is being held as partnership between St James', 
Piccadilly, the Christian Council for Monetary Justice and the Land 
Research Trust.

Fear not therefore: for there is nothing covered that shall not be 
revealed; and nothing hid that shall not be made known. What I tell 
you in darkness, that speak ye in the light and what ye hear in the 
ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matthew 10:26-27
