Will the elite be welcome at the Peoples' Summit? Will the poor be welcomed at the G20 Summit?

"The superconscious law of success is put into operation through man's prayers and by his understanding of the Lord's omnipotence. Do not stop your conscious efforts or rely wholly on your own natural abilities, but ask divine aid in all you do."

"...I started to notice the cattle, the mining, the clear cutting...and then I noticed the footprints of the campers and backpackers. Then I started to notice that some of the places I had taken students to in previous years were depleted of the very plants I showed them. Then I started to notice the current footprints of the two dozen people I was showing herbs to. Now I find I am starting to notice MY footprints."

Global Hunger
A Faith Leaders’ Summit at the Pittsburgh G20 Meetings
http://bread.org/learn/global-hunger-issues/faith-leaders-summit.html
...recovery must include the 1 billion people who now live in extreme poverty...commitment made by the G8 in July to develop a global food security initiative...G-8 pledged $20 Billion, primarily invested in agriculture, to combat hunger in developing countries...Bread for the World, in cooperation with the Alliance to End Hunger and partner organizations, is planning to host a Faith Leaders Summit for prayer and public witness in Pittsburgh on the morning of September 23, the eve of the G20 meetings.

We would like to hold a Faith Leaders Forum (by conference call) in the weeks leading up to the G20 Summit, including a briefing on the issues and consultation on our messaging.

We are also planning to seek opportunities for a conversation with participants in U.S. delegation to the Summit.
