Dear friend,
Subscribe to Sojourners for just $10 and receive the latest issue featuring a cover story exploring the aftermath of revelations of abuse by L'Arche co-founder Jean Vanier.
Inside the February/March issue:
Jean Vanier, a sailor-turned-ethicist co-founded L’Arche, a constellation of communities where adults with and without intellectual disabilities live, work, pray, and play together as equals. L’Arche became integral to the movement for the deinstitutionalization of people with intellectual disabilities. Vanier became a best-selling Christian writer and hero to all of us looking to practice a faith that prioritized those on the margins.

Nine months after Vanier died, L’Arche published a summary of an external investigation revealing Vanier had instigated ‘manipulative sexual relationships’ that were ‘emotionally abusive’ with six nondisabled women, all L’Arche assistants to whom he was supposed to be offering spiritual direction. Do we just throw away all of Vanier’s teachings and the community he founded?
