In 1985 , the Jubilee Centre brought together a coalition of retailers , trade unions and church-related organisations to fight Prime Minister Thatcher ’s bill to deregulate Sunday trading . The “ Keep Sunday Special Campaign ” overturned a large government majority In 1994 the government passed a bill which allows large shops to open for six hours on Sunday while small shops can open when they like ; this remains the law to this day . Schluter has continued to speak out against Sunday Trading , arguing that a new law needs to be brought in to give everyone a shared day off and to ensure parents are able to spend time with their children . He also initiated a peace process under the name Newick Park Initiative ( NPI ) in South Africa , which held deliberately extremely low-profile conferences between 1987 and 1991 which eventually brought together the leaders of the African National Congress ( ANC ) and the white establishment to discuss key issues so as to ease the path to a political settlement . The work in South Africa led to a peace initiative in Rwanda after the genocide there and a peace process between North and South Sudan . This led on to the establishment of Concordis International for work primarily in Africa in 2005 , and Relational Peacebuilding Initiatives based in Geneva in 2016 which is currently focused on a peacebuilding initiative in the Korean Peninsula
