Scope and content
File consists of two micro cassettes. The first cassette (SR2007 42 01) features Henri Nouwen speaking on the disciplines of the spiritual life. It is not stated but it sounds like Nouwen is speaking to the L'Arche Daybreak community. Bill van Buren and Carl MacMillan speak as well but this is not recorded. Nouwen begins with a quote from Robert Wuthrow's Recovery of the Sacred. He covers the themes of home, yearning, meeting Jean Vanier, the gift of the marginalized/poor/handicapped, the disciplines of solitude, friendship and caring for the poor, creating space for God/the inner voice of love, liturgy, gratitude, yearning, hoarding and abundance. It is a poor, amateur recording but Nouwen's words are clear and strong. It is presumed that because Richard White donated the cassette he did the recording.
The second cassette (SR2007 42 02) features "Sanctuary Reflections" by Richard Alan White.
