Recording of Henri Nouwen on Seeds of faith: Henri Nouwen talks with Mike Ford

Item consists of a sound recording of a broadcast of an interview of Nouwen with Mike Ford. The interview took place on August 28, 1992 in Northampton, and was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on July 11, 1993. Mike Ford introduces Nouwen, and explains how his own interest in Nouwen grew through reading Nouwen's book, "Reaching Out." Nouwen discusses with Ford in the interview how seeing a poster of the Rembrandt painting "Return of the Prodigal Son" at a L'Arche community in Northern France evoked a feeling of homecoming in Nouwen. He recounts his trip to Leningrad to see the original painting, and his growing awareness that he can see himself as all three major figures in the painting: the younger son (through the feeling of coming home), the elder son (who still holds onto anger), and the father (Nouwen's role as a father receiving others home). Nouwen also discusses the challenges that arise when living in a community.
