Do nothing to change your life
Ekklesia reports that Dr John Sentamu, the Anglican Archbishop of York, has announced that he is to send every MP in the country some summer reflection material: The 100-Minute Bible and a guide to slowing down, Do Nothing to Change Your Life
The guide, written by the Bishop of Reading, the Rt Rev Stephen Cottrell, and released earlier this year (2007), is entitled Do Nothing To Change Your Life. The book urges its readers to create pauses in daily life to benefit their own, and society’s, health and well being. The book argues this fresh perspective of relishing every moment with a greater attentiveness will improve our relationship with God.Do Nothing to Change Your Life is a passionate plea for the nation to ditch endless ‘to do’ lists, constant streams of emails, and an increasingly ‘24/7’ culture. The book was published following news that an international study had shown that the pace of life in our cities has increased by 10 per cent in the last decade. The bishop’s warning about the danger of not taking rest and play seriously is a timely one.
The 100 Minute Bible gives a synopsis of every book in the Bible and takes less than two hours to read

" ... some summer reflection material: The 100-Minute Bible and a guide to slowing down, Do Nothing to Change Your Life."
Does anybody else see a contradiction in terms here? ;-)
I'm dubious about the hurry-up Bible, but all for slowing down. Isn't it ironic that "slow management" has become a buzzword lately? Next we'll have "slow Christianity."
