About this blog

Welcome to the blog of the Enough for Everyone program of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). By "just living" we mean both justice-based living and just simply living – freeing ourselves from the clutter of stuff so we can focus on living faithfully and living well. Join us in the exploration!

Just Living Series: Green Living

We, at Enough for Everyone are pleased to announce the launch of our new Just Living Series. The Just Living Series seeks to assist individuals, couples, and families as they strive to practice their faith in all aspects of daily life. Within the Reformed tradition there are a number of ways in which we are called to live justly. Each piece in the Just Living series focuses on one aspect of daily living, offering  myriad ways we can practice our faith on a daily level within an ever-changing world. The Just Living series invites personal transformation and is offered as a tool to assist in lifelong journeys of faith.

Our first piece in the series is, "Green Living." This piece provides a brief introduction to ways in which our faith is reflected as we live as just stewards of the earth. The piece contains three areas of concentration: Consumption, Transportation, and Household Living. We have also included a selection of resources to further assist Christians seeking to live into God's call to environmental justice and stewardship. You can download a PDF of the "Green Living" piece here: Download green_living.pdf

After we return from the Global Market Place at General Assembly, we will be developing the next portion of the series. Currently we are developing piece on food and a piece on water.  Our hope is to create resources that will serve the expressed needs of people in the church and we invite you to share your comments and suggestions. Please feel free to make recommendations for pieces that you would find helpful. Also please share your stories of how you and your friends and family are living as Christians in the world.
