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. *'A THEOLOGY OF LAND AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR CONTEMPORARY ECONOMICS'* ////////////////////////////// 1] April 6th 10-4 at St Mary, Aldermary, City of London Honouring the Theology of the Land : *GOD & THE GOOD LIFE: THE AUDIT [1st of 3] - **250 places* Register on *http://god-and-the-goodlife.eventbrite.com/* ///////////////////////////////// 2] May 4th 10-2 at Christ Church North Southwark Honouring the Theology of the Land : *GREAT AWAKENINGS: THE APPLICATION [2nd of 3] - **150 places* *Registration on ** **http://theologyofland2of3.eventbrite.com* /////////////////////////////// 3] June 1st 10-2 at St James, Piccadilly Honouring the Theology of the Land : *HOLY LAND: THE AFFIRMATION [3rd of 3] - **250 places* Registration on http://www.eventbrite.com/event/5506287454** * *///////////////////////////// Registration and donations can also be directly to *P B Challen* by this email address or to P B Challen 21 Bousfield Rd.
