Breathe is a Christian network for simpler living, connecting people who want to live a less consumerist, more generous, more sustainable life. The Breathe blog says: “We aim to be non-judgemental, realistic and simple to be part of. We want to appreciate life more fully; refuse the consumer dream; connect with others; and choose a more generous lifestyle.” Visit the Breathe blog at: breathenetwork.org For the Conspiracy of Freedom website go to: conspiracyoffreedom.org Consumer Detox is published by Zondervan.

Accidental community? Yeah… and even the most intentional communities can only ever be a glimpse of the kingdom, actually, but it’s such a vital glimpse. That’s why one of the things Breathe is trying to do is take the stories of those on that particular edge and tell it to others: to remind us what we’re all supposed to be about. What would you say to a community like New Creation Christian Community and the Jesus Army? I think I would say “Thank you”. Thank you for taking the bible seriously, and for being a prophetic sign. Keep faith with that because the pendulum is swinging back towards community. My hope is that intentional communities, like the Jesus Army, don’t isolate yourselves, but allow yourselves to speak to wider church – because otherwise you’re not serving your prophetic function. Keep asking the question “How can what you’ve learnt be shared to the wider church?” Any suggestions how? I think someone in the Jesus Army should become a blogger on the Breathe website! Share the stories of what you guys are learning and bring it into the wider conversation. Maybe Breathe can help the Jesus Army to fulfil its prophetic role – and the Jesus Army could help Breathe to fulfil its role in widening the conversation.
