Simplicity

Simplicity

 

Between action and contemplation, at the intersection of concern with economic justice and the fight against climate change, lies simplicity. 


Simplicity is Christian alternative to materialism, consumerism, dissatisfaction and greed.


Where contemporary society fills the spiritual void with money, possessions, status and power, the Christian discipline of simplicty instead seeks to follow Jesus in humility, contentment and contemplation. 

 

Simplicity is not just about changing how we live, but reorienting who we are.

This section of the Campaigns Channel will help you engage with the principles and practicalities of Simplicity, as well as pointing you in the direction of excellent resources to help you change your life in a way that will change the world. 


"Simplicity is freedom.

-Richard Foster
