This is the third talk Jean Vanier gave at the John Main Seminar in Trosly, France in 2016. Jean Vanier, who died in May 2019, was the founder of L’Arche.
Why do we fear those different from us? Through the mission of L’Arche Jean Vanier explains how people grow and discover the beauty of their being. This is done by not changing people but revealing to them, by presence, that they are beautiful because they are children of God. The biggest revolution is imitating God by remaining silent and listening, by being present.
Jean Vanier was a philosopher, writer, religious and moral leader and the founder of two major international community-based organizations, L’Arche and Faith and Light, that exist for people with intellectual disabilities.
