Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at l'Arche Renewal retreat events from June 25 - August 20, 1992, in England.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: I hope that during this renewal each of us will discover how beautiful we are and how much we are loved by God. We have a mission to discover our beauty. Many people don't believe they are loved by God. Children know they are loved but then what happens? We must also discover our brokenness, that the outer world is also our inner world. The challenge is to accept it rather than just be angry with it. So sometimes we can deny our beauty and sometimes our brokenness. The secret for humans is the transformation of brokenness into trust.

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at l'Arche Renewal retreat events from June 25 - August 20, 1992, in England.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: The inward and outward journeys are fundamentally the same. We have to do both. To meet poverty outside of one self and to refuse to see our inner poverty is not possible. It's a question of walking into our own pain and into the pain outside. It's important that we do this somehow together. As we begin to see the pain on the outside we begin to see our helplessness, our frustration, our angers and fears--our inner pain. Do we deny our inner pain and then the outer too? Or as we accept the inner pain, do we begin to understand the outer pain?

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at a l'Arche Renewal retreat in Spokane, WA, in 1983.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: We continue with these three words of Jesus: "Come, Stay, & Go". If he calls us to him and touches us in our secret name, where we are so little and vulnerable, so yearning to be loved and yet afraid we are not loved. So we fill up that empty space with things and hyper activity, But if we let ourselves be touched and Jesus fills up that empty space of our hearts, if we hear the call and respond to the call, it's so we can "stay" and make our abode in him.

Many people are overwhelmed by the reality of the pain in their lives today.

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at l'Arche Renewal retreat events from June 22 - August 23, 1988.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Are the poor a source of life or a source of death that should be got rid of? For people with handicaps we either push them into ghettos, kill them in the womb or else "normalize" them, which is a way of saying they are not different and don't need a special welcome. One f the big questions will be how to make the passage from being a source of death to a source of life? is it possible? If so, what is the conversion or passage necessary? This is not just an intellectual reality but a very personal one. It is not just a conversion to Jesus but also to Jesus in the poor. This is the final conversion.

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at a l'Arche Renewal retreat in Spokane, WA, in 1983.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: I want to start by coming back to the "hurt." We have all had the experience of being hurt. And it's obvious when you go into prisons or talk with an alcoholic. At one moment you touch the hurt. Each of us knows our own hurt. It can even be a little thing, but it was important to us. We all have that reality inside of us. A reality that was sacred to us, but that others didn't see it as sacred.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Two possible things came up about what to share on for today. The first three weeks of the renewal were a very personal reality with Myers-Briggs, the journal workshop and then the retreat. This was an important time of hope for us all. Then we were hit with community and culture, starting with Nadine's talks. So maybe today we should focus on our communities, their hopes and pains.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: I began L'Arche in an unconscious way; perhaps you did too. Each of us has a story.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Perhaps in living this week together we have become conscious that L�Arche is very much a gift from God. The stone which was rejected has become the corner stone. This vision which has been given to us is not easily accepted or recognized by everyone. The people in our communities are the gift we have received.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Recently I met the community of the Transfiguration and its founder John Halsey in Scotland.

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: I love that text we just read about those who leave everything get a hundred fold. It can be painful at times.
