My Life Together
L'Arche Communities and the Challenge of Unity
Hilary Wilson
"Every community need to learn that friendships and fellowship are not to be only with people like us."— Rt. Rev. Lord Sheppard of Liverpool
(Softcover; Darton, Longman & Todd, 2004; Pp102) My Life Together is a collection of stories, pictures, poems and songs drawn from daily life in l’Arche communities in Britain. Edited by Hillary Wilson, a member of l’Arche for nearly 20 years, these stories illustrate how life with those who are vulnerable, different or excluded can challenge us all to more truthful relationships that heal and reconcile in a divided world. The pattern of Relate-Relinquish-Receive forms the core chapters of this book, after the initial chapters introducing l’Arche and the need for unity, and leads to the final chapter on the gift of relationships in Christ. This book makes an important contribution to the core reading important to all those involved in or interested in understanding what it means to live and work in l’Arche.
