Commitment to Simplicity and Love
"We are committed to personal and institutional simplicity out of love:
- in our relationships and attitudes toward others,
- in material lifestyles that do not create a barrier between us and the people we want to serve, and are consistent with our mission to promote economic justice in a world filled with so much hunger and want.
- In decisions about what material assets we possess as an institution, our priority should be on reflecting our love for people living without basic necessities and on making our Haitian partners feel welcome and comfortable."
