Community - Paperback

by Stephen Lazarus (Editor), Henri J. M. Nouwen (Author), Robert Ellsberg (Foreword by)

Community was one of Nouwen's constant and central themes, a subject on which his thinking evolved and matured, especially after his experience as part of the L'Arche community in the last years of his life. This book, drawing on previously unpublished material as well as articles written over many years, provides a complete picture of his understanding of community, and why he felt it to be such a necessary and integral part of the spiritual life.
