Meet our Patronslivesimply is proud to have two senior church figures as patrons. They are the Bishop of Clifton, The Rt Rev Declan Lang, and the Archbishop of Birmingham, the Most Rev Vincent Nichols. Here our Patrons explain what livesimply means to them.
We are part of creation and the planet has been entrusted to us as a gift to be respected and passed on to future generations. We are called not only to have a profound respect for human life, but all life as created by God."
Archbishop Nichols said, "To live more simply and in solidarity is a radical gesture against injustice throughout the world… To live more simply is to live more spiritually. Public culture in Britain today is aggressively secular and we must take on empty secularism."
Past Patrons
"Poverty, exploitation, and degradation of the environment are inextricably linked. livesimply provides us not just with the issues to reflect upon, it also offers tools, ways to move forward, and positive actions that can help us to manage what we've got and use it responsibly. I very much hope this message will reach people's hearts - and then I am sure their actions will follow." |
