A Call to all Christians

  From John Courtneidge

Discussion Proposal for a CCMJ Public Declaration: for debate on Monday 4th September 2023 at Victoria Station Wetherspoons 3-7pm.

STARTS

From The Christian Council for Monetary Justice (CCMJ, founded in 1960).

CCMJ recognises that Capitalism - and Marxism - are inconsistent with both The Spirit of Christ and all the Teachings of Jesus: since they, both, rely on Theft (of God's Creation) and Usury (of People, Planet, our co-inhabitants and of God's Love and Wisdom: provided by Him, for all).

Accordingly:

1) The Christian Council for Monetary Justice (CCMJ, www.ccmj.org) therefore calls all Christians to repudiate Capitalism, Marxism and all other forms of Authoritarian, Hierarchical forms of Satanism. 

2) CCMJ, also invites all Christians and Christian organisations, Churches, Religious Societies, etc, to promote an examination of the plan and democratic process called Co-operative Socialism (ie, #truesocialism) as already adopted by Labour Action for Peace, Occupy London, Bromley Peace Council, Bromley Trade Union Pensioners' Action Association and the Bromley Co-operative Party Branch.

3) With a view to Democratic Parliamentary Implementation and Annual Celebration Review of this process and plan.

So that none shall have too little, and none shall have too much.

In, and for, His Holy Name.

ENDS

A little history

 

Ash Carr kindly asked abour the 'Our' in 'Our Plan for Co-operative Socialism'.

I offered:

. The 'Our' aspect is in two parts: firstly, although I initiated the plan back in 1994/5, two other groups helped complete it: The Social Credit Party pointed out that I hadn't included the matter as to how money is created in the first place. Secondly, The Communist Party of Great Britain (in North London) pointed out that they wished to abolish money altogether. So that went in, also.

Secondly, the 'Our' refers to to people and organisations that have already adopted Our Plan for Co-operative Socialism. I'll ennumerate them in a separate message.

As to George Galloway, The Workers' Party etc, I'll also post separately soon.

Thanks again!
