I am very sad to have to share this news report. A terrible tragedy for those who were abused. A time of deep sorrow for L'Arche and all its many members. A grave disappointment for all who admired him, and considered him a saint, as I once did. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

There follows the difficult question of how to affirm the deep goodness of the l’Arche idea, while acknowledging the dark shadow it its founder. So sad.
