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: I just read a book by Br. Roger of Taize. One thing I loved was it said they changed the name of "Prior" of the community to the "Servant of Communion". It's a lovely name and we have to be really convinced that a leader of our communities is also the servant of communion. I want to talk about shepherding as being servants of communion. This is complex for us because very quickly we can become just administrators and not servants of communion. Thus we can be caught up mostly in organizing and doing rather than facilitating communion.

Are they just a pain in the neck and we have to get rid of them? This is the basic vision of a society based on a pyramid. They challenge us too much and our whole system of values. So we have been talking about the cry for communion of the poor, who call out our capacity for compassion. We will now keep on with how we are called to foster communion. If you are a shepherd, you must know what particular aspect of shepherding you are called to live.
