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.

The run-up to Christmas increases the pressure on Peter Owen Jones as he faces mounting bills, including renewing his car insurance and MoT, which force him to rely even more on the generosity of his parishioners and the people he meets while travelling around southern England. As the festive season approaches, he finds a new way of giving back to the community and assesses his mission to live a more meaningful life. Last in the series.
