<div><br></div><div>Please do not let the accident of venue and day chosen detract from the ecumenical earnestness in which the examination of the biblically propounded Covenant of Trusteeship for 'everything under the rainbow' is proposed. We wanted a worship centre as the focus and Saturday was deemed the best day for a widely varied group to gather with adequate time to engage; and we selected three events to widen possibilities of attendance and to develop momentum with consultation between the events.. </div>
<div><br></div><div>We apologise that there was no way we could make suitable choices for everyone in offering an open invitation. </div><div><br></div><div>Our intention is to support as widely a representative gathering as we can assemble to work out the implications of the Covenant for our economic behaviour today and henceforth. </div>
