Community and Growth

0/5 ( ratings)

Contemporary society is the product of the disintegration of more or less natural or familial groupings. People are afraid, uncertain - and shut themselves away. But they need companions, friends with whom they can share their lives, their visions, and their ideals; in short, they need community. Jean Vanier, founder of the world famous l'Arche community for the mentally handicapped and their helpers, has written a unique book. It is no dry and systematic treatise, but rather a brilliant series of 'starting points for reflection' on the nature and meaning of community. 'Our communities should be signs of joy and celebration... If we are accepted with our limitations as well as our abilities, community gradually becomes a place of liberation... this terrible place can become one of life and growth.'
