The L'Arche Canada Foundation in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada Daily Thought with Jean Vanier for Wednesday, 11 May 2016 "Keeping the Balance"

Wednesday, 11 May 2016 "Keeping the Balance"
Since we are supervised by local authorities [government ministries] there is the danger of letting the institutional aspects of L'Arche (good management, good pedagogy, etc.) take over from the community aspects. We [can] want so much to be competent, to make things work, that we forget some fundamental elements that touch upon community life.[Jean Vanier,
Letter to My Brothers and Sisters in L'Arche
(1996), Introduction page 27]
