Vulnerable. Gentle. Pastoral. These words describe Henri J.M. Nouwen, (1932-1996), the spiritual writer and priest who experienced both academic status at Harvard and Yale and service at L’Arche, a community of people with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers. Nouwen speaks honestly of anguish and freedom, struggle and belovedness, with insights that touch us even today.
