Jean Vanier - The Wisdom of Tenderness
December 24, 2009
This Canadian philosopher and Catholic social innovator founded L'Arche, a community centered around people with mental disabilities that has now become a global movement. To many, he is simply one of the wise men in our world today — an icon of lived compassion. We speak about his understanding of humanity and God that has been shaped across a fascinating lifetime by the likes of Aristotle, Mother Teresa, and people who would once have been locked away from society.
