 Last December, following the publication of "The Boy in the Moon," a series of articles that appeared over three consecutive weeks in the Saturday special edition of The Globe and Mail, we contacted their author, journalist Ian Brown. There were just too many parallels between the content of these articles and the work of Jean Vanier and L'Arche for us not to get in touch with him.
 One such parallel will illustrate my point. Ian Brown wrote: "If I can prove Walker's broken presence is essential to the world, maybe someone will protect him when I'm no longer here to do so."
We proposed that Ian undertake an ongoing public dialogue with Jean, and the two men met last April in Trosly-Breuil. Ian Brown suggested the dialogue might be the subject of a radio or TV broadcast, but Jean preferred the idea of a quiet correspondence. Letters between Ian and Jean will be published monthly in The Globe and Mail, starting at the end of September.
