*Herewith the sites for registration and for options for making a donation for the three spring conferences*
* *
*PLEASE HELP us by inviting and attracting representatives of our great faith traditions to share in the exploration of COVENANT AND CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS, expressing how life is gift;*
*and **turning our rich rhetoric about the universality of mono-theistic faith into tangible applications, *
*to which we can all contribute.*
* ////////////////////////////*
* *Are the Judeo-Christian and Islamic religions fulfilling their foundation mission – the honouring of a Covenant of property rights in land that excluded the right to exclusive monopoly of a minority, but gifted to be shared by all - and if not, what should be done about it? These three conferences are designed to examine how the three Abrahamic faiths laid the foundations for a moral economics in which nature was to be shared for the common good.
**· **The conferences, held in London churches, will reveal that Jesus identified the rent of land as the sacred source of revenue for the community. What should be done to encourage religious leaders to honour that advocacy by the people who adhere to the Christian faith?****
**· **Islamic scholars elaborated the principles of Land Taxation a thousand years before Adam Smith – can this history be reintegrated into the ethics of Islamic economics?****
**· **The Covenant with God came at a price – a moral code of conduct. Can this Covenant solve the territorial dispute over the Holy Land today? The Chief Rabbi spoke recently of the Covenant requiring us 'to serve and conserve' the earth.
