L'Arche

Each year American Public Radio's program, " Speaking of Faith" broadcasts a story about L'Arch a community for people with mental and developmental disabilities founded by philosopher Jean Vanier . The first episode " L'Arche A Community of Brokenness and Beauty" allows people to tell how living beside people with disabilities has changed their lives.

The latest episode, "The Wisdom of Tenderness" , is a very inspiring interview with Jean Vanier.
