Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Pretend you have been in the desert for hours and its very hot and your throat is parched and dry. Your whole body is crying out for water. Then receive the water from your neighbor and experience the taste of it. Then hand the water to your neighbor. Because today we are going to think about this exchange of water in Chapter 4 of St. John.

Stephen Verney, "St. John's Gospel, Chapter 1"

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at a Renewal Retreat in 1979. The title of the retreat was "Unless a Man Be Born Again."

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Do you remember that at the beginning that I said that I wanted to keep chapter 1 until the end because most authors write their introductions after they finish their book, which St John did as well. Until you articulate your thoughts in words, you don't really know what you thought is. The climax of this prologue, in fact what he discovered, is that the "Word was made flesh and dwelt among...."

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Thank you for the information you sent to me in advance from about 50% of you. So I will put it to you: "Do I have the right picture?" about stress in your context. If not, please tell me and share it with the group so we can together have a better understanding of what it means to be a senior worker in L'Arche.

Jack Dunham, "Stress in Residential Care" (part 2)

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at a Renewal Retreat in 1979. The title of the retreat was "Unless a Man Be Born Again."

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: I want to explore some of the difficulties you have had with the residents. This will lead us to a very important question which we raised already with the assistants: When do we let the residents go? With the residents, in comparison to the assistants, you have even more guilt feelings about this critical decision.

Jack Dunham, "Stress in Residential Care" (part 2 continued)

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at a Renewal Retreat in 1979. The title of the retreat was "Unless a Man Be Born Again."

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Can we start with how we respond to stress and explore, in particular, our anger? People have four ways of dealing with anger (perhaps more ways). For example, an outward expression which is direct, either verbal or physical.

Jack Dunham, "Stress in Residential Care" (continued)

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at a Renewal Retreat in 1979. The title of the retreat was "Unless a Man Be Born Again."

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Good that we talk about expectations and the feeling that they have to be accurate in relation to the assistants looking at L'Arche before they come in. This is because if their expectations are very inaccurate, then their behavior will be quite inappropriate for L'Arche. For example, if they believe L'Arche is a place where assistants can do their own thing, that's a big problem!

Michael Hollings, Retreat 7 and Retreat 8

Item consists of 1 audio cassette featuring a talk given at a Renewal Retreat in 1979. The title of the retreat was "Unless a Man Be Born Again."

Content notes (or transcription) from beginning of the recording: Talk #7: We will start by looking at the call of Samuel in the O.T. I want to stress a few things. The call comes to Samuel and he is already under a master. So he goes to Eli three times before they figure it all out. Then Yahweh does speak to Samuel who responds "your servant is listening." This listening is critical. Talk #8: I want to continue with the reality of God's call and in particular your call to live with handicapped people. It's very important indeed that we question ourselves about the quality of our sharing because I think we have to see it as the Lord sharing with us. We have to be humble as he is touching us in a different way.
