Seeing Differently by Br Samuel Ssf

Seeing Differently by Br Samuel Ssf

This timely book brings together the stories of St Francis – his preaching to birds, rejection of wealth, caring for lepers, befriending animals and living simply, his poetry and hymnody in praise of creation that is still sung today – and the influential writings and examples of inspiring Franciscans who have followed him such as Clare, Bonaventure, Duns Scotus and Angela of Foligno, and draws them into conversation with contemporary concerns for our planet. It gathers 800 years of accumulated wisdom and practical examples of how Franciscans have found ways to live at home and at peace with creation. It explores that long tradition and experience to ask what lessons can be drawn for today to challenge and enable readers to re-visit their own relationship with creation.

Br Samuel ssf was Guardian of Hilfield Friary for many years where he led the Hilfield Project on living sustainably in community. He gives frequent talks on Franciscan ecology for today. Br Nicholas Alan is Guardian of Glasshampton Monastery and gives regular conference presentations on the Franciscan medieval mystics, and the cross-over between Buddhism and Christian spirituality. Dr Simon Cocksedge is a Third Order Franciscan, a medical doctor academic and a priest.
