The openness of Jean Vanier

L’Arche founder Jean Vanier, who died on May 7, aged 90, was a towering figure, who spent his life at the service of people with learning disabilities.

He was once asked how L’Arche communities had managed to avoid scandal.

“We are not a closed group, people go out into villages and the villages come to us,” he said.

Inspiring words.
