L'Arche Nehalem report at Guidestar

Speaking of Faith, a radio program and web magazine broadcast nationwide on public radio, has devoted 2 programs to L'Arche. Most recently, The Wisdom of Tenderness, published to the SOF website December 20, 2007 (radio broadcast dates vary by station), focuses on Jean Vanier and L'Arche. It includes an in-depth conversation with Jean, recorded in Maryland in October. The episode's home page features a picture of our own Rodney Gabriel!! Listen to the radio program as broadcast or take in the entire 1 hour 40 minute interview with Jean in video or audio formats. A second program, broadcast last August, is a beautiful and moving "radio pilgrimage" entitled L'Arche: A Community of Brokenness and Beauty and focuses particularly on the L'Arche community in Clinton, Iowa.
