Jean Vanier Summary

Jean Vanier: Portrait of a Free Man by Anne-Sophie Constant

Jean Vanier Reviews

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
