Ken Weigel, Exec. Dir. of Advent Conspiracy

Can Christmas still change the world?

The Christmas story is a story of love, hope, redemption and relationship. So, what happened? How did it turn into stuff, stress and debt? Somehow, we’ve traded the best story in the world for the story of what’s on sale.

In 2006 five pastors imagined a better Christmas practice for their own communities. Today, Advent Conspiracy is a global movement of people and churches resisting the cultural Christmas narrative of consumption by choosing a revolutionary Christmas through

    • Spending Less,
    • Giving More
    • Loving All
    • Worshipping Fully

In this episode, Ken illuminates each of those four tenets.

It is not enough to say no to the way Christmas is celebrated by many; we need to say yes to a different way of celebrating.

Give to Water

This Christmas, give to change the world
Since its beginning, Advent Conspiracy invited every co-conspirator to allocate a portion of resources to address the global water crisis. There may be no better time of year to really see the stark contrast between the extravagance of culture and the simplicity of water. More than a billion of our global neighbors lack access to clean water and sanitation, and we believe Christmas can change this. Because of people like you who have entered into the conspiracy, millions of dollars have been given to provide clean water solutions around the world.

Paul comments on impact of the Pope Francis’ encyclical and his visit to the US on 1) alternative economics, 2) the creation crisis and 3) voluntary simplicity.

Paul’s provides insight on how small organizations such as The Pastoral Center, Simple Living Works! and Jubilee OneEarth Economics can keep the Pope’s momentum going. We discuss Paul’s new resources for families, especially children.

Paul came to our rescue when Jubilee Economics‘ site and The Common Good podcast were hacked in Feb., 2014. As an internet security expert, he helped us secure our site and get back to business instead of worrying about hackers.

I met Paul and Ann on a speaking tour of Calif. several years ago. They hosted me in their Bay Area home and later contributed their marriage vows to our collection Wedding Alternatives.

I was eager to talk to Paul about Pope Francis’ recent encyclical, Laudato Si, and about the Pope’s visit to the U.S. Paul is a friend of Jubilee OneEarth economics and head of a The Catholic Pastoral Center that publishes and distributes religious educational resources. He is preparing some resources around the encyclical.

Because of the timeliness of the pope’s visit to the US and its relevance to both of our organizations. We are publishing Paul’s interview simultaneously on both The Common Good Podcast and SLW! Podcast.

Although Alternatives closed officially in early 2011, its mission and resources are being extended since then by Simple Living Works! An important document written around that time is Kristina Kahl’s Ph.D. dissertation. It is also a cautionary tale. In this episode the author speaks.

Hi Jerry,
It is good to see that you are keeping the organization – at least the materials – alive and well.
Dissertations are a very big endeavor. And as you know, I spent many a year with the organization so as to produce such a product.
That being said, this is a project that uses a sociological mindset. Again, another perspective that gets misunderstood. Most people align it with psychology. Not the case. Sociology looks at how people and society interact. It is more of the nature vs nurture argument – sociology being the nurture. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the dissertation. I worked really hard on it and feel it offers a strong qualitative account of simple living, the relationship between faith based beliefs and simple living, as well as the role a national organization played in the larger conversation of simple living.
Please note that I have also used pseudonyms for the organization and all people I interviewed.
I would love feedback!
Best,
Kristina

Ep. 49, Laird Schaub, Exec. Sec., The Fellowship for Intentional Community (FIC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting cooperative culture. Intentional communities are pioneers in sustainable living, personal and cultural transformation, and peaceful social evolution. “Intentional communities” include ecovillages, cohousing, residential land trusts, income-sharing communes, student co-ops, spiritual communities, and other projects where people live together on the basis of explicit common values.

Since beginning in 1987, FIC goes about its work in a number of ways, including the Communities Directory, Communities magazine, Community Bookstore, community-focused Events, Classifieds, the Blog, and more.

FIC’s passion is promoting cooperative culture and sustainable living. That means providing the information and inspiration for those seeking community, forming communities, struggling with the challenges of community, and those who want to develop a greater sense of community where they are.

However community touches your life, FIC’ll try to help you find what you’re looking for. In turn, you can help by becoming an FIC member.

My wife and I run a charity to fight human trafficking. I recently completed a 37,000 mile pilgrimage around the world – I danced with rabbis, walked on coals, went to North Korea and Westboro, visited monks, and even gained an audience with Pope Francis. (My recently published humorous memoir about the trip.)
A few years ago, my wife and I took the 100 Things challenge. Today, we live in a 1975 Airstream trailer in a forest. We’re carbon neutral, don’t own cell phones, I’m a vegetarian, and we’ve traveled to over 40 countries in six years of marriage. Lots of fun stories to tell!
