Scope and content

File consists of a letter from Jo Ellen O'Hare, an assistant at L'Arche Erie (Erie,PA) requesting a visit with Nouwen at L'Arche Daybreak (Richmond Hill, ON) to discuss references to God as mother and father and the role of Mary as Jesus' mother.
The file includes a response letter from Nouwen indicating a visit to L'Arche Daybreak is not possible because of his sabbatical. Nouwen does address O'Hare's concerns however, indicating that calling God mother or father does not lessen one's devotion to Mary; he also sends O'Hare a booklet he wrote about Mary.
