Letting Down the Walls that Separate

     "We are in a world that is rather terrifying. People close ranks and hide behind their factions. There is great insecurity. (And yet) it is possible for humans to live together as long as you let down the walls that separate you.
     Our world is evolving rapidly, and is at a crisis point today. Either we will move together towards a deeper unity of all people, in a spirit of openness, fraternity and mutual respect, or the divisions that exist will grow into terrible forces of fear and hate, encouraging wars, terrorism."

       Jean Vanier, the Canadian humanitarian who spent the last half century working with people with intellectual disabilities, winner of the $2.1-million 2015 Templeton Prize in honour of his work that led to the creation of L'Arche, a worldwide network of support communities.
