Wealthy Poverty

The Situation: Loneliness

"According to Mother Teresa, it is among the wealthy that we can find the most terrible poverty of all- loneliness." (Shane Claiborne, Irresistible Revolution)


The Alternative: The Simple Way

Each of us is created for community, and in the image of community. And yet everything in the world tries to rob us of this Divine gift.

The life of the simple way is the story of that struggle to love and to be loved.

The most radical thing we do is choose to love each other... again and again.

If you are a seeker of the Way, may our story feed you hope... or at least keep you from making all the same mistakes.

"Life in community is no less than a necessity for us, an inescapable 'must'... all life created by God exists in communal order and works toward community." -- Eberhard Arnold
