Jean Vanier by Anne-Sophie Constant
Winner of the Templeton prize in 2015. Mentor to Henri Nouwen and founder of the L'Arche community, which featured prominently in Nouwen's life. Subject of the recent film Summer in the Forest. Timely release: as Vanier nears the end of his life, his followers and media will be looking for material on his life and accomplishments.
Every time one meets Jean Vanier, one has a sense of new horizons opening up, of a new vision opening before one's eyes of what it is to be human and of what it is to be in a community--Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury Vanier radiates the strength of a man who has fought his own inner battles and surfaced with peace....[He] continues to chip away at our fear of difference.--Maclean's Jean Vanier's life's work is not a book - though he has written many - but a community, L'Arche, where the disabled are welcomed and treated as being of equal worth, perhaps greater worth, than their helpers. More philosophers should be that way, and certainly more theologians.--The Guardian
Dr. Anne-Sophie Constant lectured at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers in Paris until 2012. She has been a close friend of l'Arche and Jean Vanier for decades.
