Overview

Inspired by his experiences in 'Around the World in 80 Faiths', part-time vicar Peter Owen Jones returns to credit-crunch Britain and to the realisation that modern life has become a frenzy of spending and working. He yearns for a life of simplicity and meaning - a deeper connection to both nature and people. Filmed over the course of nearly a year in his beautiful Sussex parishes, the first in a three-part series follows Peter as he tries to turn his back on consumerism.

Overview

Anglican priest Peter Owen Jones goes back to a basic way of life, abandoning the frenzy of spending and working in the hope of deepening his connection to nature and his parishioners. Over eight months he turns his back on consumerism and enters a period of `voluntary poverty', renewing his skills as a gardener, chicken-keeper, woodcutter and dishwasher.
