What is the livesimply project?
“livesimply takes up the radical idea that God calls us to live simply, sustainably and in solidarity with the poor people. Many Catholic organisations and groups in England and Wales have signed up to livesimply, creating a new network determined to transform our communities. The project, which launched in Advent 2006 and runs throughout 2007, is a challenge Ø To reflect Ø To celebrate and Ø To take action to work for justice.
It is inspired by a prophetic document, written by Pope Paul VI. Called ‘Populorum Progressio’; ‘On the Development of Peoples’; it lays out the Church’s teaching in face of the poverty and injustice in our world. On its 40^th anniversary, the messages are still loud and clear. It is a clarion call for us to live a new kind of life, in solidarity with the global community, motivated by faith.” [Leader’s Resource Book, livesimply project, CAFOD on behalf of livesimply network 2006] For further information click on the icons below:
