Scope and content
Item consists of two cassettes of Nouwen speaking at St. James Church in New York City on November 11, 1993. Two speakers lead before Henri begins his part of the talk: Mother Madeleine Mary, Superior at the monastic Community of The Holy Spirit in New York, speaks first. Carl MacMillan, a member of L'Arche Daybreak, speaks second, and introduces the overall purpose of L'Arche, and introduces Henri. Henri leads the audience in singing a hymn. Topics discussed by Nouwen include caring and ministry, the importance of community, and solitude. After the formal talk, Nouwen takes questions from the audience. A member of the audience asks how sexuality fits into these topics: Nouwen discusses how sexuality reflects our need for belonging, intimacy, and communion.
