description: Finding freedom in simplicity and voluntary poverty, living in harmony with creation, seeking to be a brother to everyone and everything - so much of the teaching of St Francis directly challenges the values of today's consumer-driven culture, providing a radical, liberating alternative. Yet while he remains an enduringly popular figure in the history of Christian spirituality, St Clare, an early follower and teacher of his values, is far less well-known. This text looks at St Francis and St Clare together, showing how they shared responsibility for the growth and influence of the Franciscan order, and how deeply rooted their teaching was in Scripture.
