Jean Vanier and Jo Anne Horstmann L'Arche: A Community of Brokenness and Beauty
Forty years ago in France, philosopher Jean Vanier founded an international movement, L\u2019Arche. The L\u2019Arche community in Clinton, Iowa is part of this movement \u2014 people of faith living and worshipping alongside developmentally handicapped adults. There are now over 120 L\u2019Arche communities in 18 countries. The community in Clinton is one of the oldest and most rural of the 14 American communities. In this \u201cradio pilgrimage,\u201d we take listeners into a radically different faith community that confronts our assumptions about service and diversity, and the worth of individuals.
