Abstrakt

The unsustainable consumer culture that dominates North American society empowers, and is empowered by, a particular spirituality. This spirituality makes it difficult to say 'no' to opportunities and obligations, and difficult to say 'yes' to community and loving relationships. This project explores the hypothesis that the practice of Sabbath might free a community from consumerism through the practice of an alternative spirituality. Robert McClure United Church undertook an experiment in congregational Sabbath practice in Lent of 2007, discovering that this practice was beginning to help them become more relaxed, more aware, and more connected to God and one another.
