Lead Us Not
Jean Vanier was called a “living saint” for starting L’Arche, a global network of communities promoting the dignity of people with intellectual disabilities. But nine months after his death, a different story emerged. Host Jenna Barnett follows past and present L’Arche members, scholars, theologians, and activists trying to understand: When trusted leaders commit sexual and spiritual abuse, how do our communities move forward? And if an abusive person shapes our faith, how does that distort our understanding of God? A podcast from Sojourners magazine.

What do we learn from fallen idols?

This sensitively reported series uses the case of recent revelations about L’Arche founder Jean Vanier to raise the larger questions about charismatic faith leaders and the spiritual and physical dangers they pose. Why do we turn people into “living saints”? Why are we so reluctant to listen to their victims? How can the often good work with which they are associated survive the evil they have done? I look forward to the next episodes.
Excellent reporting

Wow! When I heard about Vanier’s perfidy, I was stunned. This series sets in context the multiple consequences L’Arche faces in their own voices.
