Tadie addresses L’Arche general assembly

Dr. Joe Tadie of the Department of Philosophy addressed the U.S. Central Regional Council of L’Arche at their General Assembly on Sept. 7, 2007. Dr. Tadie was asked to address the General Assembly both because of his participation in an international seminar on anthropology with Jean Vanier (the founder of the communities of L’Arche) that took place in Toronto from June 23-30, 2007 and because he is a contributor to Jean Vanier’s dossier for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Tadie was a long-term assistant at L’Arche from 1991 to 1992 and regularly teaches Vanier’s texts in his courses here at Saint Mary’s.
