New livesimply anthology launches (8 Apr 2008)

Looking for a lifestyle that's more saint than celebrity, more Clare and Francis than Posh and Becks?

livesimply is a challenge to declutter, to get back to the basics of a simpler and more spiritual life. If we think justice is better than wealth, and that the best of life is to be found in deep relationships, not possessions, then we are ready to live simply.

A new book published by CAFOD contains articles, reflections and prayers which invite us to examine our lifestyles and transform ourselves and the world. There are practical tips for living in a simpler way and suggestions for how to use the material creatively in liturgies and group discussions. 

As Kevin Kelly writes in this new anthology, livesimply is about "being true to who we are. It is not something we do; it is what we are. It is mind-set, a way of being. Its starting point lies in the very heart of God…"

livesimply: A CAFOD resource for living simply… sustainably… in solidarity ie edited by Annabel Shilson-Thomas. Contributors range from Rowan Williams to Desmond Tutu, from Tom Cullinan to Tina Beattie.
